Thank you for your interest JE McGimpsey !
it would be separated by several spaces
or with a new line or both
grouping together all of a horizontal.
Then grouping together the next horizontal.
Or converting the xls to plain text ascii
and then further editing the plain text ascii after converting it.
For people who do not regularly use or do not use proprietary microsoft software
or people with limited vision plain text ascii can be preferable. Also consider
people with iMac apple computers, GNU/Linux users and so forth.
