Any MS Office gurus out there? I'm in the middle of putting together an RFP for a new e-commerce platform and its getting pretty chunky. The whole thing is on a Excel spreadsheet, with questions divided by category (presentation layer, admin tools, infrastructure, etc.) but a lot of stuff appears in several categories (like email and personalisation for example) so I want to do a keyword column in the spreadsheet to speed lookup. I can add keywords manually, but the spreadsheet is about 400 lines long.

I can't see any keyword function in Excel, and I don't have the time to get VB script written for what is essentially a one-off exercise, so does anyone have any other ideas? I thought I could dump all the questions into a text file and then use some program to do a word frequency count, but while google gives me a lot of programs that can do that, I don't know if any of the free ones are trustworthy. Any ideas?

I'm not entirely sure what it is you are trying to do...but...
You could have a field that combines categories say email & personalisation and then use that field as the key...
