[Summary-Talk] A couple of requests for information



I am setting up my own reports for users because they need to be 
bilingual 
(English and French). 
What I would like is a table of report numbers and the titles that go 
along with them so I can set up a request page in both languages that can 
then request the correct summary page. This applies to both Overview and 
Report format output.


As well, another small request.
  When I extract the Excel format out (tabbed columns), it would be nice 
if the explanation lines were separated from the column headers and data 
by a single blank line. This should be a configuration option to preserve 
present format for others.
This would allow my VBA macros to easily find the data and format it 
using 
Autoformat.
I am often writing scripts to take the summary data and add additional 
information not available in summary (replacing CGI parameters as 
numerics 
by true report descriptions, for example). This would make it much easier 
to make generic scripts.
