I'll experiment with that.

OK - will-do.

Ah, OK.  The first and third columns are actually equivalent at the minute, 
since basically all I'm doing is checking for expletives (I'm not saying you 
would ...) and spelling errors.  But the pending thing could be put in, I 
suppose.

Yes, a graph would be lovely, once I figure out how to do that in PHP .... 
I'll maybe think about doing a table with the above in the meantime.

Mercy bucket.

No, what I meant was that knowing what words are missing is only really of 
value if someone comes along later, goes through that list, and adds them.  
So to that extent you would need a word-entry frontend like Kartouche or 
similar (perhaps not as complicated).

OK, I'll remove "_blank".

Yes, that is doable - I'll have a look at it.

This is perhaps something to do with the files they were imported from - 
Rhoslyn's OOo file may have been UTF-8 format.  Thanks for telling me - I 
have no idea what to do about it in the short-term, though.

One hopes ...
