In response to Chad Schroter's very reasonable suggestion and Tom Tadfor
Little's follow-up comments, there is a compromise. If the lists are
scanned into digital format, then an expert could use a split screen to
block from the text and paste into the data base. This would be much
quicker than retyping and would avoid errors associated with a complete
re-write.
Re-entry of all the data into Access, or its equivalent, would be very time
consuming and we should use the available technology to ease the process.
