I am trying to move files over from MSOffice, so a program that would let me import an excel file would be helpful.
I need to keep track of a mailing list with many different fields, and I need to be able to sort the list different ways. I like to output data from this list to a word processor, to prepare printed copies for the group.
Suggestions?
Suggest a database for Puppy?

I think Puppys Gnumeric crashes when importing Excel.
But you could try to save in another format (for example CSV-export), and import that in Gnumeric.
Or try OpenOffice Calc.
It has good Import of MS-Office, just Macros written in Visual Basic will get lost.
