    I tried filling this out a bit ago and hit a wrong key and don’t know where it went so if you happen to come across a similar unfinished one, that’s mine! 🙂 I know enough that I need to know for excel but there’s not one thing that really bothers me. Whe it come time to make/redo my movie list (which is a list of movies I write down as they come out because I told myself that I was going those them all, good or bad) enough weird about me. I make my list in excel and alter the row heights to all the same and I like 2 columns per page. I’ve tried starting with 2 columns but then my problem comes when trying to. Sort
