It's a powerful application and you can learn a lot just using the help feature, if you know what you're looking for and have time on your hands. Most people (including myself) only ever scratch the surface of what's available, maybe make use of 5% of the apps capability. I've noticed many people use Excel to make lists etc. because it's in a nice grid/table format. If you're not making any kind of calculations, graphing or data tracking, a table in the word processor of your choice makes a list just as well. You just need to format the table to show gridlines or cell borders. MS Word even has the capability of formatting cells in tables with rudimentary calculations. Mind you I'm still using the Office 2000 version of all this stuff. No idea what can be done with the latest & greatest.
