>>>Hi,
>>>When writing technical documentation and describing the purpose of a table, which word would be better to use in the following sentence:

>>>The table will store records ...

>>Actually, a table will store "rows". Not that records is wrong - but rows is arguably a better term.

Do Excel users think of "columns and rows" or "columns and records" ? :)
