Chuck
[Chuck - the answer is it depends on who is going to get it. And
what they are going to do with it.
If you have a contest announcement that you want posted on the
www.aeromodel.com - then its best to save it in HTML format.
If it is to appear in the text of the news them as text or ms-dos
text with line breaks.
Finally if it has to be print by the recipient with all the Word formatting,
different fonts etc - save it in Word format.
With respect to Excel
If you want to print it in e-mail then save it as
formatted text space delimited (*prn). When you do this
you may have to chnage the column widths to fit it to a page
or get all the sporstaman's names in.
If the ecipient want to reformat it or work with it in excel
than save it in Excel format. ]

>I take some hope in that I have never heard Alexander Andriukov
>involved in any musical activity !]
Sorry Brokenspar, Alex Andriukov was a guitar player of some note back in
the Ukraine I believe although he plays it down (gedditt). There are a
few in Aus too; Peter Fauser (F1B) and I both play guitar.
I think FF appeals to creative people who like to challenge themselves
and so does music which is why (I think) there are so many good musos in
FF (although we don't always know it).

Thanks Hardy !!!
I am going to embarass you now, telling how I came to play in Kansas City
last year at a huge concert to celebrate the memory of Charlie Parker. It
was all made possible by some wonderful friends in KC, (the Jazz
Ambassadors). They knew Mayor Cleaver, the man that bought Carlie Parker's
saxophone and has done so much to put Jazz back on the map in KC, among many
other good things for the city. Cleaver had apparently heard me play over
the telephone (!!) I played the instrument during the sale of the famous
saxophone, at Christie's, in London and he was bidding for the horn himself
and heard me !!!! Cleaver paid $95,000 for it (!!!!) and it is now in the
new Jazz Museum on 18th and Vine in KC.
It was the hard work of the Jazz Ambassadors in getting some sponsorship
to pay for me to come over and Hardy was one of those sponsors. (Sorry to
embarass you Hardy, but I am very greatfull to you !!)
As there are so many musicians and music lovers among the FF fraternity maybe
you would like to access a couple of web sites. Log on to the Jazz
Ambassador's site at....
http://www.jazzkc.org They are a great source of info and would
appreciate your interest.
You can access my web site, which is not fully up and running yet, on ....
http://www.somepoint.com/miles/pking.html ....or on the Miles Music
Site at..

One last thing, Hardy, re Alex Andriukov. Now I am going to embarass
Alex, (Sorry AA ;-))) When Alex stayed with my wife and I, a few years ago
now, We showed him to his room and after a few minutes I heard what sounded
like a guitar playing(??) I went in and Alex had taken an old guitar off
the wall in his room. I had forgoton we even had one. Considering it was
missing a couple of strings and hadn't been tuned for years, I was amazed to
hear some real good guitar sounds. He explained that he used to play but
had to stop, due to the pressures of aeromodelling...... He told me he had
cut a bit off the top of one of his fingers during a 'handling accident'.
while building a model !!!!! So, thanks to AA's 'accident' all us
Aeromodeller/Musicians can breath a sigh of relief !!!!! ;-)))))) With
Alex's talent, God only knows what would have happened if he had kept on
playing. Maybe we would all have given up our horns!!!!!!!! ;-)))))).
Peter King
[Actually it was your editor not hardy that was worried about Alex, seeing
I fly F1B. .. maybe there is something to this music stuff]
