Hi,

I want to put my system (with examples) into document and wonder if there is any software to help me with presenting deals and biding in e.g. Word or Excel?

Bid4Bid will let you describe your system. It has nothing on Fred's Full disclosure, except that it will format and print out pretty. As soon as someone writes a utility to pretty printouf from FD, these will be close to even, with FD having edge because it works on line.

I have seen some xml formatted templates where you can click to open more and more about the system, then click to close. Sort of epandable notes. You can do similar in word when viewed in outline form. I think one of our members posted a llink to one such thing here once.

I'm partial to Excel, as the columns work nicely. You can use internal hyperlinks and group/ungroup blocks of data, or split it out among many tabs.

This is quite easy and requirres no programming ability.

(This would not have Nice Printing !)

If someone could point to that, I'd certainly appreciate it.

I also like to use Excel, and since I have programming experience in VBA, it's not a big deal to specify a pretty print routine. But, I think the OP is looking for something more along the lines of the XML template.

I'll have to look at the outline function in Word to see if my version has that feature. Mine is very old (6.0).

Thanks

I have created macros that put the Suit symbols under short keys in OpenOffice and/or Word. More I have not needed so far

It depends on what sort of system file you are writing.

I have fiddled around with various ways of documenting our system, and I end up with a Word document (though I also have keyboard shortcuts for suit symbols).

So much is general description, over-arching rules, approach etc that simple expositions of sequences are under 50% of the total.
