m$ excel custom format ala regular expression.
basically a whole lot of insanely useful gibberish.
have you realised that Office doesnt come with a manual? usually. Hm. I mean, it was remarkable that the ipod/iphone doesnt come with much of a manual, but Windows and Office not coming with a decent manual is like amazing. Either everyone in the world is already good at it (not true, given all the silly folks fuddling around), or its so easy (to a certain extent), or, find more when you need it.

perhaps to not bog the typical user down with too much information that they might never use else it’s too daunting; people who would need to use more of the functions are usually able to find out more about what they need (I think)… or perhaps they have a secret deal with the Dummies publisher… =]
