The PDF, Excel and Word documents provided in this section are meant to serve as example formats only.  These formats will give you a head start in streamlining the planning and coordination process for your own purposes, but the content and formulas must be changed to apply to the different needs of your group. 

Pay close attention to the formulas in spreadsheets -
When spreadsheets are available, take painstaking care to check all formulas after making entries and changes to ensure that calculations remain accurate.  If you are not experienced with Excel formulas, have your work checked by someone who has expertise working with spreadsheets and can verify that the information is presented properly and that formulas are set up to calculate accurately.
