Hi Everyone!

This is a great article from Kimberly Powell about common indexing errors.  Included is Adjusting Highlights - A Visual Guide 
I highly recommend you review this.  Most of the avoidable errors that I see are a result of transcribing the wrong line or column.

We aren't all perfect (at least I'm not) but these tips and resources will help you avoid the most common mistakes.
