If it was me, I would just continue on with the course and skip
the parts you don't have commands for. If you can use and understand
XL2002 you won't have problems with other versions except for...

the latest version of Excel, the one following XL 2003, called XL2007.
It has some major changes that include doing away with the
toolbars and menu bars. (not everybody is happy with that)
The vast majority of current Excel users are not using XL2007 - including me.

Bingo! Thanks for your help. Is there some sort of update type thing I can do
in order to get the commands? I am halfway through this course and thought I
had 2003 all this time - ugh! I can't afford to buy 2003! Thanks.

Office XP includes XL 2002.
In Excel, click on "Help" on the menu bar
Select "About Microsoft Excel"
The Excel version should be shown at the top of the display.

You seem to have found the only major difference between
XL 2002 and XL 2003.

You are missing XL 2003.
Those menu commands were added in that version.

I am taking an Excel college class online. I have to have the "List Command"
from the Data Menu but it isn't there. I went to customize the toolbar but
when I went to "data" the list command wasn't available for selection to drop
and drag. I went to "help" and it told me to "customize the toolbar" which I
already tried. I also do not have the XML command. What am I missing here?????
