Re: Open Office Calc help requested

You can have more than one worksheet in the file.  If the church is 
keeping track of the donations by month, then group the worksheets of 
April in one file.  I usually name the files 2003_Jan and 2003_Feb to 
keep all the files together for the same year.  As far as dates go, I 
usually format the cell for date and how I want or need the date 
displayed.  

I can't get OO Calc to work since I installed Star Office.  Could you 
send me an example of the spreadsheet or the template that you are 
working with while I get Open Office repaired.  ~Anne
