If you don't have "Excel" or the Corel equivalent, and are averse to spending lotsa money, do a google search using the words "Open Office" (I think the actual URL is something like www.open-office.org).

This a free open-source-code program that contains a complete word pro, database and 'powerpoint' progam suite. It appears to be as complete and as versatile as Microsoft Office or any of the other hideously expensive commercial products.
