Photo Mechanic Code and Caption Generator - MS Excel Based
W. Patrick Lanius, Photographer
Centennial | CO | USA | Posted: 5:35 PM on 09.11.08
->> I created a simple Microsoft Excel file that will generate code and caption replacements for use in Photo Mechanic and I thought I'd share it here.

The main use for the file is to create your own custom code and caption txt file. This will be useful for those of us who must caption photos for frequently covered prep sports teams or other teams not covered in Mike Stone's generator which uses ESPN rosters.

If you can get a roster in digital form from an AD, it will save you the trouble of typing all the info yourself. Just cut and paste the info into this file and generate some commonly used caption text and codes.

here is the excel file:

here is an example of the xcel file filled in using the Washington Redskins:
