Go to http://www.microsoft.com/Office

and look at the templates selection on the left side.

Search on terms associated with your field. Hopefully there will be some
free templates that you can examine and see how they are used and what
formulas they use.

I need to find a beginner's explaination of what Excel does, and how I can
begin to use it. My my field is commercial real estate. Specifically, I
need to enter various property prices and loan perameters to see how one
variable affects other values. As I am digitally challanged, any help
would
be very much appreciated. Thanks!
PS-My computer has Microsoft Excel 2003
