Hi guys . . . I keep up with the updates from Corel on WP but have a terrible time with Quattro Pro. Regardless of the box I'm running it on it continuously crashes when sorting any volume of data which is something I do a lot. I also have Excel loaded but am resistant towards it as their menu system is totally foreign to me. Am considering looking at some open source products. Any ideas?
