Hi Masimo, With respect to Spreadsheets, specifically Numbers, I'm not sure of what you are referring to with respect to its problems. After about one hour of playing around I was able to merge cells, do various formatting, implement functions and much more. I am quite proficient with computers in general but by no means a expert user of spreadsheets. If you have questions about how to do some of these tasks, please feel free to contact me off-list.
