Advice requested

Hello,

I am in the process of developing a sales manual for my colleagues, and I’d like some advice from this knowledgable group about what software to create it with.

This manual would consist of a full set of product descriptions for the 90 books we sell. I’d like my colleagues to be able to sort by author, price, product number, and audience each book is targeted toward.

There will also be a section for sales policies, shipping fees and other information.

I want to be able to create this in a no-brainer, run-time style program so that no matter how computer savvy (or not), my colleagues can use it. Finally, it can’t be expensive—which means I can’t have to purchase a license for each colleague.

I’ve considered Treepad Lite (free), which is straightforward, but which does not allow sorting on the differenct categories. If I recall, MyBase does allow you to create a runtime version of the program for creating e-books… does it do the kind of columnization I’d need for the sorting functions? I’ve also thought about using Brainstorm and then exporting to an HTM file. It wouldn’t allow sorting, but I could probably use the namesake feature to create links under various categories… Not ideal but possibly useable.

So does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations? Thank you!
