spreadsheets

[Gabriel Combs]

any recommended (preferrably freeware) mac-based spreadsheet apps? something comparable to excel? would a newer mac have a spreadsheet app i'm not seeing? thanks for any help...

Gabriel -
(I sent the following reply to your questions about Mac-based spreadsheet software programs to your personal e-mail as noted on your homepage here - gabrielcombs@hotmail.com - I'm posting it here in case you didn't pick it up there.)

Hi -
I don't know if this helps - but the last two Macs I've bought came with the application called Apple Works. Mabye you're aware of this. But if not - it can be used for word/text documents, spread sheets, drawing, creating flyers, etc. I don't have enough experience with creating spread sheets with either Excel or Apple Works to offer an opinion as to which is superior. I would think that if a person had an older Mac...an upgrade might be available via Apple on-line. Some of them I've down-loaded have been freebies.

Take good care, JML

Thanks, JML. I did get that email, and have purchased a new Macbook, but I don't see Appleworks on there anymore, as it was on my previous Mac. Have'nt tried to upgrade yet. I've just been told that its a good idea to start using a spreadsheet for art sales to keep track, and to keep track of the mailing list...

Thanks again,

Gabriel
