>IT WORKED!!!!
Aw, Anon, I'm so glad to hear this!
You made my day.
Really.
Years ago, you see, I used to work at the "Help Desk" of a large corporation, so whenever computer users had software or word processing issues, they would call our "Help Line" and we staff people would run to the person's cubicle or office to help them.
Over time I created a little library of "Cheat Sheets" that I could share with people so that the answers to "frequently asked questions" were all one one handy sheet (which grew in size, over time).
The best part of that job, for me, was when people I tried to help told me that things worked.
So thank you for that feedback.
FUNNY ASIDE - after my first year on that job my Manager called me in for my Annual Review.
She said I was doing a great job except for one thing: she said I was "too helpful," and the other employees in our Help Desk section were annoyed with me.
So she told me to "tone it down" because we're not here to train everyone on everything.
For the first time in my life, something hot rose up in my core.
I'm usually really polite and quiet but as that steam built I finally (nicely) told the manager, "No. I'm not signing off on my Annual Review."
I told her that if the others in my department were ticked off that my efforts were "making them look bad" (in comparison) then the last thing I would do is lower my standards to be at their level, to keep them comfortable.
Instead, I said, "maybe they should raise their own standards, because I am not changing mine."
