I am trying to write a proposal and am wondering
if Microsoft Office has a guide for writing proposals.
It would, very likely, be possible to build a database application to
expedite creating proposals for particular areas of endeavor, and I would
not be surprised to learn that there have been databases created for this
purpose -- but, I have not seen one published, nor used as an example.
There may be a "document management" template or example that could be
adapted for Access.
If you do some searching, especially, in the archives at groups.google.com,
and find a freely-available example, please post back here and let us know.
And, as relates to a "guide for writing proposals", I'd think that more a
general business issue -- very likely addressed in USENET newsgroups rather
than software-specific, but I'd agree with Tina that Word would probably be
the central software focus of proposal-writing in Microsoft Office.
And, thinking back to large proposals in which I participated in my
corporate career, I believe the content of every one was defined by the
organization requesting the proposals, so managing and tracking the
preparation of the contents of the customer-defined proposal might be about
as close to a "proposal database application" as you could expect.
