Hi

i would first do a virus scan ... then after installing office 2003, i would
choose start / run and type in
excel.exe
and click the OK button - this will open excel if it has been installed.

I have a constant problem. Whenever I install Office 2003 it claims to have
installed all of the programs, but I can't find anything to indicate that
Excel has been installed. Another thing that happens is that if (which is
rare) Excel does install, any record of it disappears. I've used Excel
before
and have created charts. I'm a teacher and need those charts.
