I never had to do it - so I don't know how to set up a basic database - name,
address, cit/state/zip in Word or Excel - and now I need to. Help!
 
It's just a table. Use Excel. Put in the headings that you want. Add your
names. Voila! You've created a database! :-)
 
Or you can use a table in Word, set up the same way. See

I used to use Word more than anything (except Publisher) but over the last 6
months I've grown to use Excel for more things than I ever imagined. I can
even do formulas a lot easier than before. I still have a long way to go
tho.

There are advantages to using Excel for a data source, but for modest-sized
tables, a Word table often works better and imports more smoothly.
