I would like to urge all members to use Open Office as the closest alternative to anything from Microsoft.

which package contains the excel alternative ? what is the download site? there are quite a few variations should it start with HTTP ?
thank you

Apache Open Office

http://www.openoffice.org/download/

downloading now

that is the site I was at, never did get the HTTP
downloaded..... only minimal issues so far things hiding or popping up where they dont belong

assume we are using the spreedsheet? not database

what are the tricks to it?
have not used excel in 10 years would expect to be easier and not need any formulas as yet
need 12 rows (info) across and would like to cross search by MB/mfg # my stock # and location (3 listing orders)

Yes, spread sheet is what I use. Some functions from exce are not available, but they are fairly cosmetic.

I know quite a few facebook users who simply copy the variation tables from my site, It would be easy to print them out and take them with you to toyfairs etc.
The variation tables are now locked so the codes will not change any more, new unlisted variations will be given a suffix and slotted into the table in their correct position in the timeline.
Just highlight and copy the text you need and paste it into a blank word document and you will get this - but you might want to add some spaces to make it easier to read.

I did the above but with the pages open on my iPhone. Easy Peasy and I just add "got it yippee' next to the line when I get it.

2 how do I (when new number is found to add)in cell 20 then simply bump cells 21> down when they cross columns?
