Programs: By the Numbers! Unfortunately, the usefulness of such programs is somewhat limited once you start talking about professional publishing and design. Though one can create graphs, charts and tables in these programs, they won't print well on anything more complex than an office printer. For example, if you have a data table that you want to use in a brochure or newsletter, it's best to provide it to a designer in a tab-separated format. This format separates data by inserting a tab between each column of data. Tab-separated format is an export setting found in most spreadsheet and database programs. If you have a spreadsheet chart or graph that you want to use in a brochure or newsletter, it's going to have to be recreated in a vector-drawing program like Adobe Illustrator. Unless you're creating the graph or chart yourself, I would suggest supplying the data to a designer with an idea of what you would like the final product to look like. If he/she knows how to use a vector-drawing program, the designer will most likely be able to create something that is much more professional than what you were able to create with your spreadsheet program.

preadsheet programs are incredibly useful in the business world.
A spreadsheet program, like Microsoft's Excel or Lotus, is used primarily
to calculate columns of numbers and to put those numbers through mathematical
formulas as needed. With a spreadsheet program, you can manipulate figures
and create graphs of all different sorts which are ideal additions to
business reports. It's like having the calculator or the accountant of
your dreams at your fingertips.
