Would you have any idea where one could look for help using Microsoft Office ? Help in understanding templates and other things Microsoft Office does. This is in order to inventory personal collection of books. A Site with ‘newbie-friendly’ instuctions.

What version of Office do you have? I’ve had good luck using the online help. There’s a lot of templates out there that you can download and use, or you can take one of those and create your own.

@PandoraBoxx thanks for answering so fast:) It is for a friend. I think it may be “Student”. I will get back to you.

For your project, MS Access 2000–2003 has a template included in the program. You have the option of using the Wizard.

For tips and tricks, use the Knowledge base or Online help by choosing HELP on the menu.

What you want to do with the book inventory after it’s finished would dictate what program in Office you use. Most are in Excel or Access.

@njnyjobs thank you very much. I am waiting for the answer from my friend as to which Office she has.

@PandoraBoxx I thank you again. I will see if I can answer your question/s.

@njnyjobs @PandoraBoxx I just answered your questions.
I know less about computers than the friend who asked me, and she is asking me, she is funny that one. She says that she wants the website that takes those kinds of nstructions and makes it more newbie-friendly.
Thanks again

@flo If she has the student edition, Access is not included in that Suite. She can install the Access separately or get MS Office Professional edition.

Probably the best thing to do is to use the Microsoft Office Online Tutorials which allows you to walk through a project. She would probably be most comfortable doing the list in Excel. Each field that she would want to fill would be a column heading, and she would just enter information across the page. One book would = one row of information. She could then export it into access later, if she needed to.

I’m feeling extra nice now so here’s a template for a Book Collection database using Access 2000/2003

Till next time:)
