I don't know what a "continuous table" is? How do I do that? Also, will this
put the pages (half-page?) in correct alphabetically order when I fold the
pages into a booklet? From my newsletter, page 1 printed with page 8, page 2
printed with page 7, page 3 printed with page 6, and page 4 and page 5
printed together.
Thanks. Janice

OK. Set the Page Layout to Landscape on 8½ x 11 paper. Make the format of
the page 2 columns. Create the roster as a continuous table. The table will
snake down and then across the columns. Print the pages double-sided
(duplexed). What could be simpler! If you want to add a new entry, just use
Insert, Row and a new row is created for the new entry, pushing down the
rows below. Even simpler, you add the new entry or entries at the end of the
table and then use Table, Sort to get them sorted alphabetically again.

Now show your colleague how easy it is.
