Are there guides to writing proposals in Microsoft Office?

[Guest]

I am trying to write a proposal and am wondering if Microsoft Office has a
guide for writing proposals.

this newsgroup answers questions about using MS Access relational database
software. suggest you repost your question to an MS Word newsgroup and/or
check the templates in Word and on Microsoft's website.

I am trying to write a proposal and am wondering
if Microsoft Office has a guide for writing proposals.

It would, very likely, be possible to build a database application to
expedite creating proposals for particular areas of endeavor, and I would
not be surprised to learn that there have been databases created for this
purpose -- but, I have not seen one published, nor used as an example.
There may be a "document management" template or example that could be
adapted for Access.

If you do some searching, especially, in the archives at groups.google.com,
and find a freely-available example, please post back here and let us know.

And, as relates to a "guide for writing proposals", I'd think that more a
general business issue -- very likely addressed in USENET newsgroups rather
than software-specific, but I'd agree with Tina that Word would probably be
the central software focus of proposal-writing in Microsoft Office.

And, thinking back to large proposals in which I participated in my
corporate career, I believe the content of every one was defined by the
organization requesting the proposals, so managing and tracking the
preparation of the contents of the customer-defined proposal might be about
as close to a "proposal database application" as you could expect.

I realize that this is not the site for this info, but as this is part
of my business, I'll give a website that is one of the best guides I
know if you are writing a grant proposal:
