Thanks again, everyone -- private and public "writers" -- I'm fast
acquiring some solid "meat" to chew on. Especially so Robin (here) and
Helen (private. Now I have a name for my Mac-goddes! <g>)
One note of explanation, to Jo Falkink but, possibly to others as well.
Not only am I using the Mac-proprietary software (whatever came bundled
in the Appleworks6), I *am* using a *database* program, *not* the
spreadsheet one.
Jo, your catalogue is a spreadsheet; your fields go like this:
Title Author Date etc, accross the page.
For me, that's difficult to even look at, never mind print out (say, to
take with me to a lace day to make sure I don't buy a duplicate copy of
a book I already own)
My database entries go like this:
Title
Author
Date
Etc, one field above the next. Then a break, then a new, entry of
however many lines/fields I decide to use. That sort of arrangement
produces something which resembles a traditional catalogue card, which
is what I'm used to. I could print it out and cut it up if I wanted to,
make a "hardcopy" catalogue, if I get an uncontrollable hankering for
tradition :)
However, both Jo's and Sue's in NJ (private) suggestion of using
"subject" as one of the field names is brilliant; many thanks. Why
didn't I think of that?!?!? :)
