For some time now Fujitsu ScanSnap has been a well publicised way to get your scans into Evernote with a minimum of fuss.

For a couple of years now I’ve been pulling IT service desk statistics into a spreadsheet and setting up worksheets to break down and analyse the data in various ways. The number of worksheets has subsequently grown a significant amount and I wanted to create a front worksheet that contained hyperlinks to and brief descriptions for each of the subsequent worksheets.

Prior to Microsoft Office 2007 (MSO2007), office provided a quick and simple way to find out just how big your file was.
