I'd like to find a free basic spreadsheet program. I'm not willing to pony up for Excel, but I want something I can use to list and track my build costs. I'm starting to write checks now, so I want to start writing it all down before I start forgetting. Any ideas?
You can use Google docs or Open Office. I use Open Office
Open Office is very good.
Open Office is the cat's meow. I can't imagine why a home user would use Micro$oft Office.
I use Open Office and I do like the Google Spreadsheet. That is because I can use it and share it. My wife and I anymore stay on a strict written budget. She or I can look and see the exact amount in each category.
Also with me on the road as much as I am I can plug in my paycheck from the road. Budget stuff out and all that from my hotel room. She back home can have an instant copy that is great. That said I do no banking or fund transfers ever, ever, ever from my laptop. She does that from home on a hard wired machine.
OpenOffice is the way to go, I install it on a lot of church projection pc's for their presentation system.
Sounds like there is a consensus for Open Office. I'll give it a whirl- thanks!
