There are lots of programs out there that can something like that. The most widely used is Microsoft Office but there are also free, open-source alternatives like Libre Office.

Open Office is nice and has been around for a very long time.

Hi barbshew,

Perhaps it would help if you explained what you were trying to accomplish. Are you talking about making something like a spreadsheet? If so, your best bet would be to use something like Excel. Google has some pretty good free productivity tools as well.

Hopefully this helps!
