Excel is a wonderful programme. Too huge for some, yes, ungainly sometimes, less nifty than Numbers, but still wonderful. Working mostly in sentences not calculations, I wouldn’t - you might think - have much use for it. But I do. Leaving aside the more familiar terrain of personal financial records and planning, for a time I outlined longform pieces in Excel, factual and fictional, listed locations and characters, even crudely timelined. I still keep records in Excel of versions, word counts, page revisions and work durations, and roughly calculate productivity.

I think I read somewhere that someone had managed to write a novel in Excel, but I never managed to track the source of that report down.
