Re: Creating Catalogs on Excel

[Max Wyss <prodok -at- PRODOK -dot- CH>]

Alecia,

I think that this could be done in Excel, but may I suggest to seriously
look at a database tool for what you intend to do. Even a simple tool like
Filemaker would do it way better ... and for searching text, Filemaker is
_very_ fast.

A database tool can be set up to make it easier to enter the data, as you
can set it up to display the entry screen for _one single_ article. This
causes less distraction by other items.

Hope, this can help.
