Thanks Terry that worked I think the name it gave is the gal who used to live there but I love the link thanks again. I'm going to try it with some neighbors I do know!!

Thanks jemdandy. I would hate to have to print the amount of phone numbers I keep every time I added a new one! (I must keep a rather large personal phone book, compared to most people. In addition to family and friends, I keep the names of every contractor and business I frequent!) That's actually a good idea if I was willing to start completely over. I would have if I hadn't been able to find the software that was so similar to what I'm already used to. Sadly, I am a creature of habit, and I liked how the address book linked with the personal calendar. At this point, since I liked how it worked, I'd rather buy software than figure it out from scratch!

Making a phone list was the first thing I ever used Excel for, about ten years ago or more. I quickly discovered instead of listing name first to list the ten digit phone number since that column will always be the same size. And it is easy to keep alphabetized since a new entry can be inserted anywhere. I've never re-typed the list once. Just add or delete to the original. I print copies and three hole punch to put into a folder by our phone. Shrunk another copy to half size for the glove compartment of my car. At some point I started using the tabs at the bottom of the page to make new pages for: medical, school #'s, stores & restaurants, car info (insurance & parts & mechanics) and at least 5 or 6 more catagories. It is probably the most useful thing (even though it is fairly simple) I've ever done on the computer. The other very successful Excel file I started ten years ago was for medical appointments. I made a few columns that I fill in each time I schedule and complete an appointment. When I get the Explanation of Benefits in the mail weeks later and wonder what THAT was for I can check my own notes, in laymans terms. I also cross reference if I had a copay or needed some kind of follow up. It has helped me at the end of the year when I've had to claim Flexible Spending Account money. I have a medical condition so it has also been helpful to track my meds. The most helpful book I ever read on organization discouraged the use of PDA's. One of the common negatives that people fed back to her was the inevitable loss of data through a dead battery or "accident". I would never trust my dayplanner, medical history or address book to a PDA. At least on Excel you can have a hard copy printed out. I also have a copy on a flash drive. And I'm not that computer saavy!
