Default Re: Spell Quick Reference?

So far I've had no trouble with OO whatsoever and I find it far superior to the MS Office in user friendliness and customization options. If you configure the thing to do something, or more importantly, to NOT do something, it actually does what it's told instead of ignoring it or resetting to some non-changeable defaults. OO also has a more logically consistent layout, things can be found where they are expected to be found instead of in unrelated or non-intuitive places. It doesn't have quite all the bells and whistles of MS Office, but the average user is never going to need 90% of those anyway.

Unfortunately, both MS Office and OO follow WYSIWYG-philosophy (as opposite to WYWISWYG), which makes things unnecessary complicated. But out of those 2 I'd rather choose OO too. At least you can occasionally get what you want...

Are any of these others organized alphabetically by spell name? This is really the best way to organize spell descriptions as it will explain what is happening to you when you are in combat and someone else is casting at you when you are first learning the game.
That's exactly what I want it for.

It's taking me longer than expected to type, but I'm working on a simple .rtf file for this.

daesthai has posted an .xls file in this thread.
