Computerizamicatifying a card index -- please help a dummy

Thanks for the link, Feiren. Looks like a nice flashcard program – maybe a bit like Supermemo?

I don’t think it’ll do what I need though. What I’m after is a way firstly to organise card-index type information, and secondly to incorporate selections of that information into wordprocessed documents.

I’m going with the spreadsheet option at the moment. I’m using Open Office’s Calc rather than Excel, but they have very similar functions.

Could anyone help me with a specific problem?

I’ve got field names set up like this:
Level number Rank by frequency Word Part of speech Definition Example

They’re at the top of the spreadsheet, so each row below corresponds to one card from my index.

There are four “Levels” so far and what I want to be able to do is export the cards from one level only into the word processor so that they look like this:

Word 1 Part of speech
Definition
Example

Word 2 Part of speech
Definition
Example

and so on. Is there any easy way of doing this? I’ve been playing about with “export” and “save as” but haven’t figured anything out so far.
