The manual I just posted about also has an extensive
troubleshooting section - albeit only 11 pages of
symptom/cause/solution.

As one other responder mentioned, what's so bad about
this format?

Our technical department specifically wants this sort
of format so that when they are on the phone helping
folks out in the field they are working with something
'standard'.  Many of our techs are ex-military and
they learned their 'craft' using tables exactly like
you have.

Being ex-military too, I have to say that this is a
case of where something is not broken and there is no
need to fix it.  IMO, YMMV and all the other standard
disclaimers.

Best,

Leo
