If you don’t need anything real fancy, you don’t have to have software like Publisher or others to create forms to use around the office. You don’t have to have an extensive knowledge of Excel to create forms. I have slightly more than a basic knowledge of Excel, but, what I’m doing doesn’t even require that. For the last couple of years at work, I’ve been creating checklists and other forms for my use in the computer room. What you are doing is taking a spread sheet and using it as a word processor, making use of cells. Electronic logs can be another type of form that can be created using Excel. Such example could be like keeping track of inventory being used in a department.
You can create mailing lists, inventory lists, check lists, & reminders and more using Excel.
