Re: Creating Catalogs on Excel

Actually, Alecia, I'd hope that you'd use something far more expandable than
Excel. I'd develop something like this in Access or some other database
application, so that I could port it out later as a searchable website or
CD. We make it a policy here to maintain our options as widely as possible.

If you must have a very low-level database, just use Word's tables. They're
searchable and portable.
