Just thought I'd share this one with the group.

On Friday, I was meeting with my bosses and we were discussing the doc
projects and how I'm progressing. I pointed out that one extra project I
wanted to do was to add Indexes to the current documentation. We have word
files...and none of them have ever been Indexed. i've only been at this job
a month, but I figured this would be well worth the time investment.

The question asked of me was: "Well, what's the point of an Index anyway?
Can't the reader just use Ctrl-F?"

I'm not sure what anyone else would have said...but I just came back with
"I'm going to make some indexes."
