Print common names and create excel sheet for common names + NGC

Originally from ticket #6191.

When I click on labers, a lot of them are common names e.g.Ghost of jupiter. I would like to be able to print them (common names ) out including their associated NGC numbers. [And magnitude, etc if also available.]

Since NGC numbers track very closley with RA I would use Excel to sort and make two lists. One sorted by Common name w/NGC number and Two: sorted by NGC number w/common name.
Is this type of date accessable in my Starry Night Pro. **** I AM NOT A PROGRAMER ANDF DO NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH CODE ****

    The best thing to do would be to simply work with our NGC-IC database source file. Import it into Excel (it's just tab-delimited tex), and work with it there. Have a look at the comments in the file and you should be able to figure out how to do everything you want.
