Re: [IRCA] form-maker software for logsheets

[Brett Saylor <bds2@xxxxxxx>]

Charles,

I use Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software (part of the Office suite) to 
create my manual log sheets. You can label headings, vary the column and 
row sizes and use the "outline" options to make thin/thick lines around 
the boxes when printed. If you don't have Excel, then the free 
OpenOffice suite has a spreadsheet with similar capabilities. I find it 
to be infinitely flexible and easy to use.
