Thank you Bill.
Yes this is fairly intuitive compared to the cad programs that I've
played with a bit. A compatible symbol library would indeed make this
doable for me. I suspect a basic cad tutorial would get me going with
one of the freeware cad programs but they sure aren't easy to wade into
without some assistance.
Happy New Year to all

Ken, not to butt in but Jeff reminded me that you can easily make your own
shapes using the group function. You simply put whatever shapes together
that you like and then hold down the shift key and right click for the menu,
then select "grouping" and then "group". Now you have your own comic book
shape for whatever you like. If you want colors and fancy lines, etc, you
need to format before you group. I made up a bunch after "borrowing" some
of Jeff's. I also put another "wee tutorial"  in Photo share on Grouping
to show how connecting shapes can be made up.
My DPDT switches look like a little box with six small circles inside to
indicate the poles. Then wires attach to each pole. Kinda comic book but a
little quicker that making a real switch diagram AND it works from all
directions.
I think for most folks purposes, if someone would put together a
"consistent" shape library to match Bobs schematics, Excel would do nicely
with little or no learning experience.
Have fun!

For those on the list that want a headstart using an electrical CAD
package, go to http://vx-aviation.com/page 3.html.
There is a complete aircraft electrical schematic, symbol library, and a
link to free design software from ExpressPCB.
Included in the schematic and library are many of Bob's favorite
switches and other components.
I've used ExpressSCH and ExpressPCB for about 3 years, and I'm very
happy with it. It appeals mostly to those who have used electrical
design software before, and is very easy to learn and use.
Everything is free, is readily customizable and easy to learn.
