i have never heard of you till last week, i only use MsExcel and MsWord , its all i know but In my kind of work, inventory control, working with numbers on HUGE spread sheets and TRYING to keep it simple I've realized a feature that NO-ONE does ... now maybe you can be the first.
In inventory control, you work with product numbers, USP codes and catalogues of product ... NUMBERS. If we know that a customer, wants a specific item, but they know what it looks like, but have no ID number, it's nearly impossible to find, ... you know in what category its in, but thats all. I realize , what i'm about to suggest takes a great deal of space, but soon memory will be cheap enough and dvd's will become a norm for product Identification and description. In excel, now open office, you have a 'comment' box that can be added to each cell that describes a product or cell identification in any detail, you want to add ... but ... a picture is worth a thousand words. As the hand, cursor, moves over the cell, this comment box, pops-up automatically. Why do you not have a thumbnail (pixel count determinedby 'prperties', this way, you can scroll down the cells in any column, FAST, st see the product ... NOT just a NUMBER, that you are looking for. Excel does not have it, but it would be extremely easy to also include "cut and paste" or hyperlink an image (thumbnail) to each 'comment cell'. Instead of a red triangle in the upper left corner of the cell, indicating a comment present, you can put another 'symbol', to indicate an image of the subject available. I hope you understand what i'm trying to explain. I know i would greastly appreciate this option, and those who have large amounts of images, photographs, ... whatever , can now manage what is in the comment box allot easier, and will not come up on screen, till the cursor is over that specific 'identification' in that cell, all you know is that there is an image available of that products, if you want to see it, if your curious. nick skoblenick 47 sovereign street, west waterford, ontario canada n0e-1y0 (519) 443-6542 good luck ... merry Christmas !
