Bee, how you do that? Very cool! This would have been a big help when I was working with Accipiter on the summary page setup. Is there some way you can show or send me the formatting that allows you to include this in your post?

You capture the screen shot, upload it as embedded html code to Jing's server and then paste (Ctrl-V) the embedded html into the discussion box. Here's jings website:
