The problem is that folks are not aware of nor use the Mini How-tos. They want and in some cases need handholding. That is, they want to think that there is real technical support, not a bunch of 'hacks' that bond together sharing their knowledge of the program. I've found that some folks will actually go out and buy MS Office just to get the 'free' technical support so that they can get assistance. I will look at the document and comment, if necessary.
