Do a search on the computer for excel.exe. If you find that then you still
have excel on the computer and the short cut is missing from the start menu.
If you do not have that file then you will need to reinstall excel

Please help! I am an absolute novice so a very basic reply would be very
helpful. My problem is that I installed Windows xp professional version 2002
and then downloaded service pack 2. My husband has noticed that we no longer
have excel on the computer so I put the original Windows disk in and clicked
"install excel". I then got a message saying "setup cannot continue because
the version of Windows on your computer is newer than the version on your CD"
and then scary stuff about uninstalling and losing stuff I have saved.

In my simple mind, I assume that I can just download an up to date version
of excel via the microsoft website but I have searched and searched and
cannot find how to do this. Please can anybody help?

Many thanks,
Ren.
