I have a couple of videos to post not sure why the first one is not showing, but the second one which will talk about referencing etc., shows some of the "issues" with the new system. I don't think it is necessarily a better way to reference data. Interested to hear what others think. Hi Jon,

In fact, this is the killer feature that convinced me to upgrade from 2000 to 2003. Tables in 2007 are an evolved version of these Lists. While formatting and referencing within tables has improved greatly, the basic functionality was already present. I have not really found anything in the 2007 Tables that is a must-have enhancement, mostly the changes are in the "okay, that's nice" category. For example, the database-like referencing of records and fields looks pretty cool, but it has tripped me up more than once. The major breakthrough was the introduction of Lists to 2003.
