Enhancing an Excel Database

[CharlesEric]

Hey there,

My name is Charles-Erik Lavery. I work for Indian Affairs. My manager asked me to construct a database using Excel. The database includes a list of more than 45 Grants&Contributions authorities and their terms&conditions (eligible recipients, application requirements, eligible activities/costs, etc) which makes over 600 pages of text, all in one Excel database. I managed to put everything in the database without much problem. It's just A LOTTT of text.

Now, we only use Excel, no other proper database program that would make it easier to search for specific words or stats, that would make it more organized. My question is: is there any way possible for me to enhance the database so that it is easier to search for specific words (e.g.: ''administration'', ''emergency assistance'', ''economic'') and to know exactly where they are situated in the database?

Thanks for your help.
