║ SETTING COLUMN WIDTH ║
╚══════════════════════╝

to large) or in descending order (from large to small).

√√√ STARTING A DATABASE PROGRAM
Lotus can easily be configured to accommodate a database program.
It is necessary to type in the heading first and then adjust
the column widths for each Field name.
FIELDS, WHAT THEY ARE!
Each column is called a Field:
for example, Row 3 on the worksheet shows six Fields:
Name, Street, City, St, Zip, and Phone.
A Field (column) usually contains the same kind of
information.
√√√ RECORDS, WHAT THEY ARE!
A Record is a Row across the page.
It contains information that is related;
for example, Name, Street Address, Phone number.
Continued in next Chapter.
