Record Keeping in Excel?

[hi_im_god]

i run xp using parallel on my laptop. other than the usual windows glitches it runs fine when i need it.

don't know how the office suite runs in osx. just know it's available.

Ya. . . that's the thing - I never have glitches with the mac programs so I don't want to corrupt things by putting any microsoft stuff on.

I still dont have the hang of using the new version
2007. Hell I cant even use Word properly in the 2007 Office version.
I hate both of them.
I hate Vista.

I am old, got used to what I thought worked fine.

I still love Excel.
Just have not figured out where everything is.
Hate reading the directions in Help.

hate and love excessively

excel is great. whatever improvement you think it needs is actually already imbedded. you just haven't figured out where how to find it. parenthetically, neither have i. you just need to know a scavs.

i have no gripe with microsoft.

but i do like the support i get with apple. i've hauled my laptop into their local store for multiple free classes and 2x for specific issues i was too dense to work out on my own.

it's a lot better then trying to talk it out on the phone with india.

I have thought about going to a Mac.
Just cant bring myself to it.
I really do think it is just a matter of being older.
I am just not as flexible mentally.

And I had found so many neat things on excel(like you said)
It was like opening X-mas presents all the time.
I just get frustrated with the new format.
The new looking bar at the top is so foreign visually.
(Scavs I may pm you sometime if you dont mind... if you
use the 2007 version of excel)

Again probably my brain has become addicted to
a certain visual and just cant switch easily.

If they changed the DRF format drastically I would be
unable to bet the few races I do.

Six years later, a few weak attempts to do this, recent months of dumb betting and recently hearing Barry Meadow on Steve's show... I am finally motivated to do this correctly.

I no longer have that email from Scav (thanks man) - anyone keeping track via Excel, etc? Any help/direction is appreciated.

And a good Belmont Week to all.

Don't really have any tips, but kind of ashamed by my advice to just use a word document way back then. . . I use the Mac equivalent of Excel--Numbers--now. . .
