John, any spreadsheet program can be used for ledger / checkbook / other account-tracking purposes. Poke around a bit on a search for "Checkbook template" and convert to OOo, or go wild and build your own with headers, auto-totals, linked columns, custom report macros, and the like. (I've personally flip-flopped between Quicken and spreadsheet since v1.0 of Quicken -- even made a side-trip into QuickBooks. My current book-keeper prefers to use Quicken instead of learning any sort of more-flexible spreadsheet, in large part for the canned reports available. Said reports are certainly possible in any decent spreadsheet, and OOo certainly qualifies in that regard. Just takes time&effort to create them.) ttfn - Mike / Pax ... Kihe / Adieu, Amra Mike C.
