I'd be interested in seeing an example of your writing process, using Excel as a way to break writer's block.

This was decades ago. But basically take which ever paragraph format intended and break it out into individual cells. So label one cell “thesis” then “point 1” etc. Then string them together in output. It was probably after being up all day and night to help explain the need for that. It did help identify points that needed reinforcement though, “I think.”
