Why do we want spreadsheet formatted information?
Most email programs gmail, thunderbird, outlook etc etc etc use this format for importing and exporting contact information. Once we build the database up to large proportions it will be important that we can do this so as to be able to transfer our address book into mailing software.
Essentially you have:
one column for name, one column for email address,one for phone, one for fax, etc
then you just use one row for each record and fill in the information that belongs in that column. Attached is a generic formatted excel sheet.
If we can all stick to the same format then the process becomes easier.

Sandra,,don't feel bad about being confused,,I've never used a spread sheet in my life!~,,some of us have never had to,,because we've never worked in an office nor owned a business before,,we worked in factories or other jobs,,I tried to copy and paste some from the Chamber of commerce and when i did,,it all came out just all garbled!!,,
And some didn't even give all the information wanted,,like some didn't even give phone numbers,,so i feel like everyone is getting ticked at me because i'm to stupid to know how to work the crap
