If you have the installation CDs for Excel 2003 try it. If you don't then
you have to buy it or 2007. The knocks on 2007 are the new interface and
performance (which varies from 'way slower' to abysmal). The interface to
not going away so you might as well learn it if you don't mind being reduced
to a beginner for a few weeks.
