I have signed up for an Excel 2003 distance course. Originally, I was told I
would be receiving a trial-version disk for Excel 2003 with my course books.
However, I am now being told that I need MS Office 2003 but, since I have
Windows 98 SE on my computer, I will not be able to run MS Office 2003. Is
there a way to upgrade just the Excel 2000 program I currently have on my
computer to Excel 2003? Otherwise, I will have to upgrade my entire
operating system to Windows XP Professional, and that is not an option right
now.

I think I would explain the situation to the instructor. There may be a few
things that you won't be able to do using xl2k, but maybe they aren't covered in
detail during the course.

I know I couldn't upgrade past xl2002 until I upgraded from win98 to winXP.
