Hi Martin, Ok, will do, re OpenOffice vs LibreOffice. I don't know what "an oozing buboes" is, but it sounds dreadful. I'll try LibreOffice.
But you didn't answer:
Do you mean like show it in forums? Or do you mean privately
message or email it?
Thanks, brynn

Hi Martin, HA! I'll be glad to do that. I understand generally what you want. But I've never used a spreadsheet and I'm not even sure if I have a program. Could I make columns in a text editor (such as OpenOffice Writer....which I think has a new name these days..... Aahh, now is Apache OpenOffice.... whatever....)
Oh you should uninstall that and install LibreOffice instead. When Oracle bought Sun Microsystems a few years ago, the open source community trust Oracle like an oozing buboes and forked the project and created LibreOffice, Oracle having no real control over development any more dumped OpenOffice onto Apache.
LibreOffice comes with a spreadsheet program, it's like the writer's columns but it's /just/ the table and no writing part. It's very powerful, but actually quite easy, click the boxes and type stuff in them.
