Thank you all so much for your input. The feedback was perfect. I did not realizethis may be difficult under any circumstances.
I am very familiar with PowerPoint and will try the open office thing... I can not believe that there isn't a GUI programing tool that will allow me to build GUI apps - just like I use Dreamweaver to build a web page ... a WYSIWYG builder that does a few simplet things and calls other programs ... Oh well .... no silver bullet!
