150503 - On 040513 developed support for managing acronyms and other word
150504 - strings with the Subject Index, based on suggestion from Gary.

150507 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Gary saying...
150508 -
150509 -    1.  The attached file is a proof of concept that the acronym
150510 -        spreadsheet can be exported in a format to match the SI.
150511 -        ref DRT 1 0001
150513 -         ..
150514 -    2.  Now if you will point me to the data on how to name and link SI
150515 -        segments, I can modify the program to handle that as well.
150516 -        ref DRT 1 9X5L
150518 -  ..
150519 - We need an adjustment to the format.  Descriptions should start in
150520 - column 48.
150522 -  ..
150523 - If the file is segmented into into 5 or 6 files of about 120K, then
150524 - they can be read into the Subject Index and segmented online.
150526 -  ..
150527 - The online procedure to segment an index is to open the "Subject" menu
150528 - and click "Segment Index" near the bottom of the menu.
150529 -
150530 -    This menu executes macro file c: sd 03 00506.

150536 -    ...and is explained beginning in the record on 040411, when this
150537 -    feature was enhanced. ref SDS 2 0001  Backgound on the original
150538 -    work is reported on 030810. ref SDS 1 0001

150542 -
150543 -    3.  I have a number of PDF files of acronyms that I am working on
150544 -        converting, so there will be a lot more soon. ref DRT 1 UX6F
150546 -         ..
150547 -    4.  Now that we know we can do it, I am not certain that I want

150551 - Submitted an email to Gary linked to this record pointing to the code

150901 - Bill called and asked why the location that starts the descriptions
150902 - have to be moved to column 48, per above. ref SDS 0 MS8J
150904 -  ..
150905 - Explained that shifting the descriptions for acronym accounts to
150906 - column 48 provides more room.  Upon discusison, abandoned this change.
150907 - While we talked, shifted the description back to column 44.
