Word and Excel should be more identical in their features
A suggestion for Microsoft:
Excel has checkboxes that toggle, but no mail merge features. Word does mail merge, but checkboxes don't toggle - they are only good for printing. Each only does part of what I need for an electronic form. Wouldn't it be great if the MS engineers would take each software's features and mimic it in the other program, so all features are accessible from either?

Some would argue that making both programs do the same thing is redundant.
Mail merge in word is capable of pulling information from excel. And checkboxes in excel can be used, as I have used them before. Microsoft isn't going to put all of its proverbial eggs in one basket because it is in the business of making money, which it does by selling multiple products (none of which conveniently does exactly what we need). -- JNW "NB" wrote: A suggestion for Microsoft: Excel has checkboxes that toggle, but no mail merge features.
