a folder program with tabs like excel for word/excel in same doc.

[divadi]

i wish there was a program like an electronic folder or binder...with tabs
like excel that could be named/color coded...for which you could insert word
pages or excel pages. while a pdf kind-of does this...it also locks the
document for editing. i would like to continue to be able to use the document.

for example...in planning a university graduation i needed to reference and
update many types of documents...rsvps, tracking ticket regalia pick up,
tracking which students had filed for graduation, a flow chart explaining how
to take reservations, a self updating tally sheet...

trying to type like a word doc in excel doesn't work. it either doesn't wrap
the text, or you have one giant cell that you're working in.

To type "text" into an Excel file, turn on the Drawing toolbar and use a
textbox. Works great for MOST purposes.

This has been a fairly big request in the past. They did have a Binder
program but discontinued it since it didn't really work. Too bad they
didn't improve/correct it instead of discontinuing it.

But for your project it sounds like you should use an Access database.
