How to Make a Spreadsheet Without Excel

Microsoft Excel is used to keep financial information or important data in order. But most computers do not come preloaded with the Microsoft Office software. This means that if you want to use Excel, you need to buy a completely separate program. Most people do not realize that they can make an Excel-style spreadsheet in any of the basic word-processing programs. You can save your money by learning how to create professional spreadsheets in WordPerfect.
