I need to learn better how to make a spread-sheet to store information, my computer used to have a place where I could open and make one but now it is gone I guess because I have installed a different operating system at one point.

Does anyone know where I can download a free software for a spreadsheet, that is all I need nothing more and I just want a simple to use one, nothing fancy and no add ons. I need a page with lines running thru it that I can move around to adjust how much information I want within that particular line that is all.

Thanks for any suggestions

Try openoffice.org.  OR do you have ms works or office installed?

Thanks, no I only have windows Xp installed

Openoffice is a huge bloated pig, but, yes, It is the only thing I can think of that works reasonably well...
(Yes, it works ok in XP)

Unless you want to give Bill some more money...

(You used to get a stripped version of MS Works with a useable spreadsheet when you bought a new computer from most places, but I don't think you even get that any more)

On the other hand, openoffice does also have a database program with it, so if you outgrow the spreadsheet, and want to get fancy, you already have the tools...)

Thanks Rusty, how about this one here, I am hesitant because I do not want to download anything that is going to harm my computer. http://microsoft.brothersoft.com/microsoft-works-spreadsheet.html

Run away from that website....

(All the links I looked at there lead to adware installers :(

Try here: http://www.openoffice.org/product/calc.html

It's free, and it won't hose your computer :)

I came close to doing the install last night but then I figured I would ask here first, glad I did, thanks

1930, you might consider trying the Google suite of productivity applications. Nothing to download really, unless you want to. Here's a link to get you started and have a look.

Thanks, I just purchased item # 180914733414 cause the seller told me it would do what I wanted it to do on the computer I am using. 14 bucks is cheap and I look forward to seeing it. Thanks again for the replies

I am going to attempt to document all in one place in an easy to read format Graham Brothers/ Dodge Brothers truck/Bus offerings for the years 1917 thru 32, I may take it a little further than 32 but these mentioned years are my primary interest.

I plan to include drivetrain differences, W.B. Wheel diameter, engine offerings, carbs, vehicle weight, carrying capacity ect ect.

As far as I know it has never been done because of a lack of material and possibly a general lack of interest by a large enough group of people to justify such a project but I am interested and I will use it myself for quick reference to help other Graham/Dodge owners identify their vehicles better.

Thanks for asking and if you or anyone has any ideas of how to set up this sheet I would be all ears.

check the consumer guides car issue they have the best and easiest to read charts ,  bob  w.

Thats a good idea Bob, thanks

1930,

This sounds like an ambitious project. It also sounds interesting and useful.  So please keep us posted as this project develops and advances.   

Before the Dillon and Reed years ( mid twenties ) Graham Bros. were building/pioneering just about anything imaginable, this was a very exciting time in history!!
