Thread: Want to create a database of Newpaper clippings

I am located in Muscat - Oman and working for an Embassy office. Actually i have lot of paper clippings around 500 or so on different topics which my boss wants me to maintain some electronic database sort of thing.

I tried putting it down on excel - see attached file but somehow i dont feel satisfied. My knowledge on Excel is only basic and this is a tedious process., so would appreciate any help on how to go about it. He wants it like give a date and the whole thing on that date appears, or for the matter i give a particular category and everything in that category appears on screen... something that is easy to find and browse through. Kindly advise.... is there any other free software or something that i should do?

Highlight cells A3 to H3 and put filters on. This way you can filter for date and/or any other category you want.
