Re: Commonly requested & popular software/applications

Tip to make a “quick” spreadsheet in Excel for your future reference… for example...
Column A: Title
Column B: Description
Column C: Link
Column D: ="{URL=" & """" & C1 & """}" & A1 & "{/URL} (" & B1 & ")" ...but you have to change the { and } to [ and ]. I had to use { because it tries to link the formula up when I used [ here.
…then you can copy Column D to forum-post boxes and it should come out with the linked Text when you Submit it.

Like with cut and paste to Notepad, and then to here, I can do all this... (the Notepad was needed here because Excel didn't give newlines between cells for some reason).

I just made one of these spreasheets and now I have it forever! And can use it for any other post and even find links again without having to clutter my IE with bookmarks.

BTW, for those who have never used Excel, when you copy the Column D and paste it below many times...it automatically increments the A2, A3, etc.
