The learning curve with Access is very, very steep

For example, with its Tables, Queries, and Forms (set in a datasheet view) looking like an Excel spreadsheet, Access calls BOTH columns and cells Fields, which I find to this day, positively weird -- once this dawned on me, things went better

I am glad I am not alone is finding PP at times illogical

I know there are a zillion ways to do something in one of the Office products, but with time, I caught onto the logic, which continues to elude me with much of PP

It helps, too, if you are artistic with PP, which I am not, as for example, being able to color this and that right down almost to the pixle level--GAWDDDDDDDDDDDD

Excel is logical, but oh, how, I hate charts, but oh, how, the test loves em

Word, well, Word is Word, your generic work horse you neither love nor hate, though I did come to hate all the darn clip art stuff and, and, of course, those charts -- M$ so loves em -- I can only imagine what it will do with Office 2010

Only Access spared me of question after question on charts and clip art
