Tips for Creating a Perfect Data File

• Set up fields in data entry order
• Divide information into categories (both Word and Word Perfect now skip blank lines)
  
  Re-enter data if you have to! Especially information that was cut and pasted from the web.

 Some places where people may have cut & pasted from are:
