Macros in notes?

[Mark A. Lappin]

>> toner part number etc;  routers nearest service center, circuit identifier, etc.  Works great, hard to maintain.

Generally, I agree.   I have the information in great detail on my intranet, including escalation contacts, methods, detailed troubleshooting guides but with me being the only IT person, and if I get a problem phone call I can generally walk somebody through checking something in Nagios for me and have them read the info to me right there is easier than having to send them through more hoops.   Thankfully, my environment does not change that often though.

This seems to be the problem, I did not however try it with lower case definitions and uppercase usage, I just did everything uppercase, problem solved.   ....The simple things right!

Thank you for your help
