In the past, APL applications have come mostly in two kinds: one-off investigative developments, and major 'vertically integrated' applications. The first kind are usually characterised by a small volume of powerful APL code, precisely targeted towards exploring an interesting business idea. The second kind are typically wrapped around with a great blanket of 'user' code, which is all about the entry, validation, and presentation of data.With the advent of MS Windows (and the inevitable move of the PC community towards Windows applications) we can begin to exploit the inherent power of Word and Excel as providers of much of this user code. This paper begins the exploration, with just two simple ideas: an Excel-based report formatter, and an APL button-bar to add a 'real' array language to Excel.
