If
you can’t afford MSAccess, then I would suggest using MSExcel rather than
using MSWord tables. That way you can use the filter feature to search by
headings.

Subject: [NYHIST-L] scrapbooks
As a new town historian, I inherited a number
of large scrapbooks filled with local newspaper articles cut and pasted into
their pages covering a spread of many years. Until now, they have only been
used by occasional curiosity seekers thumbing through pages until they tire of
reading them. I would like to index them on computer so that researchers could
find specific people, places, and events. I am thinking of using microsoft word
tables (I cannot afford access.) to create lists that provide book,
page, people names, place names, and events that we can then use the
"find" tool to locate. This will be a big project for volunteers, so
I would like to use the simplest yet effective technique. Would appreciate any
thoughts. Thanks.
