<!-- Tips_data.js.  Random tips generator data -->
<!-- Data is in the form "Text of tip (Authorof tip)". -->
<!-- To add additional tips, add a new entry 'tips[n+1] = "text"' where n is the number of -->
<!-- the last entry.  The items will need to be numbered to ensure they run sequentially -->
<!-- from data[0] to data[n], although the actual order is irrelevant.  Note that there are -->
<!-- 2 separate lists of tips:  MS Office, and Others.  Tips should be added to the correct -->
<!-- list.  Also, each text string must appear -->
<!-- on a single line (although your text editor's automatic word-wrapping will not affect 
<!-- this).  DO NOT add any other text or graphics as this will crash -->
<!-- the browser.  If this does not word-wrap properly now on your editor it is because it is -->
<!-- formatted for the RWA editor.  Finally, only use 'single quotes' as shown here within 
<!-- the text.  Double quotes will cause an error.  For further info contact RWA. -->
