AMAZING!!!!!
It works, except for two small items:
1 All of my numbers are either preceded by a single zero (local) or two
zeros (international).
These zeros are not being brought to the booklet sheet.
The original sheet is formatted as "Text" - no formulas there, and the
booklet sheet as "General". If I change the booklet sheet to "Text" the
formulas appear...
2. Despite your "####" in the formulas as the last four digits, the result
is three digits at the end of each number...
Some of the numbers have more than 10 digits - Can I add more "###"s at the
front of the #s?
