There are several of us in the office that have added to our own Master
Category List. What is the best way to compile a list from everyone's Master
List? Any way to export the categories to an Excel or CSV format so they can
all be brought together and sorted for analysis?

Thanks in advance,

- Craig

Vince,

I'm able to export the list, but what I'm trying to do is bring that list
into Word or Excel. Any ideas on if this is possible? When I open the file
with Notepad all that shows up are a bunch of digits.

Not really since the list is stored in Unicode format which doesn't convert
well to ASCII text easily
