Microsoft

both Macintosh (OS 7.5 and later) and on Windows 95/98/2000,
XP, and Vista machines. They have been tested with versions
of Excel from 5.0 and later. Please note that these

Excel. OpenOffice is a free download from Sun Microsystems
on the Internet.
OpenOffice Calc
version: If you do not have access to Microsoft Excel,
OpenOffice contains a spreadsheet program called Calc that
will work with the OpenOffice version of the software. The
entire OpenOffice suite is a free download from Sun Microsystems
on the Internet. This suite contains not only Calc, but
also a word processor, a database, and a graphical presentation
program. Click to download either the Windows

run on OS X.

If
you need help, please don't hesitate to e-mail me, but
before you do, please be sure that you have first
read the Instructions page within
the spreadsheet and then checked the Troubleshooting
& FAQ page on this website thoroughly. I have
found that almost all problems can be solved by simply reading
these two documents. To be honest, I get very frustrated
with users that take up my time sending me e-mails asking
me for help in doing things that I've already covered on
the Instructions page, or on the Troubleshooting & FAQ
page (or both).
If,
however, you want to simply drop me a note of 'thanks,'
I'm always open to that (smile).
Also,
feel free to drop me an e-mail with any suggestions that
you'd like to see in upcoming revisions. I promise, I will
consider what you write. Many of the features you now find
in these spreadsheets are a direct result of previous users
sending me suggestions. However, please don't get offended
if I don't use your suggestion.
