Re: Map Arrange to Page
I tried sorting the content of both cells for several states (NY,
Washington, California and Florida) and I could see no correlation for the
items in that cell and the states used. When sorted by each item in that
cell, the states did not align up in any specific order.
We will have to leave this up to Mark to get the inside story.
