Bob - You need to correct your Pre-2007 Excel link. Both pre-2007 links go to Word.

When I was gainfully employed, my employer provided MS Office, from which I used Excel. I provided Word Perfect(ed) and used the word processor. When I retired my son introduced me to Linux, which I now use exclusively. I still have a use for a word processor and spreadsheet. I find that LibreOffice provides me the best of both MS-World and WP-World. I've dabbled with the MS products and put them down for LibreOffice,it does the job my way, especially footnotes.

Thanks so much, Bob. I use Word and Excel extensively, so I will quite enjoy Allen Wyatt's newsletters.

I agree with a couple of previous posts that the first things you install on a new computer are a better browser (I use Google Chrome) and an antivirus program. I've read that Windows Defender has evolved into a good antivirus, but I'd still rather install a separate AV program. I do use MS Office, but I'm still using Office 2010, as the newer versions don't really add anything new, and I refuse to pay a subscription fee. If I didn't already have a paid copy of Office, I'd use Libre Office. I tried it out and it's very similar to MS Office.

For a step up to Excel plus database, try AirTable. It even takes your current spreadsheet and makes it work.
