Excel is not really for this task - it is for working with numbers.
Try Word best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "tiff77" wrote in message ...

Help us help you! With the info you've given it's impossible to determine what help you need. Describe what you are trying to do and what data you need to store. If you already have spreadsheets explain how they are set up. Give as much detailed info as practical. Maybe then you'll get some answers. gls858 |

I know it's kind of tough to put something that's new on several levels into
words, but like gls858 said - if you'll tell us something about the 'what' side of it, we may be able to make recommendations. Excel opens a new workbook with 3 new, empty sheets by default. That doesn't mean you have to use them all, and you can always add more if you need them. I think a big part of getting started with this would be for you to tell us exactly what these parking identification forms are going to be used for. If they are for something like giving people who park there an ID of some kind to put on their dashboard, then it may be that another application like Word might be the tool. But if you're trying to keep up with information about cars that come in for parking and want to keep up with license number, time in, time out (and thus time to be charged for) along with where the car was put, for use by your parking attendants, then Excel could be just the thing. Tell us what you want to use this for, and what information you need to collect and keep and we'll give it a go.

One other suggestion - if you do decide that Excel is the way to go, then
head on down to the nearest bookstore and pick up a copy of Excel 2003 for Dummies. Seriously - while some may poke fun at the sometimes light-hearted way those books are written, they are absolutely great for introducing the beginner to almost any subject. You wouldn't believe the number of bright yellow binders shining out from my bookshelves.
