Has anyone converted the Fall 2012 Wish List.pdf file HO has on CC to an excel or word file? It's very small print and hard to read for a lot of older people.
 
I tried, but it looks bad.
 
I copied it to Word.

Anyone who wants to use this:

1. I simply copied it and DID NOT PROOF IT to the pdf. Please look over it before using!!!

2. I did some very basic formatting...that is it. It is up to you to format it as you wish.

3. All of the guarantee info did not come through. It would have taken a bit of manual effort on my part to format them and put all the missing ones back in...so it was easier for me just to remove what was there so it would be consistent.

I've given it to my family and friends. They've all told me that they'll look through the book and see something they want and then forget what it was. So they can keep this with their book and mark things as they find them.
