when is the next microsoft office excel going to be released?
 

cI am wanting to purchase Microsoft office excel for my home Pc to
co-ordinate with my job/office pc so I can send and recieve and open
attacments from home to work & visa-versa, but I see the latest version is
2003. Should I purchase such an old version or is there a newer version that
would be compatible with 2000(at work)that I should wait for release to
purchase?

I suspect it will be released around autumn 2006, you can look at some
preliminary detail here and see if it suits your needs. It will be
compatible with previous versions with a little care.

I would not buy it right away since you're going to be using it for work and
it doesn't sound like you're a computer geek. Every system has bugs and
problems when it first comes out that get fixed later in service packs.
Well, every system has bugs and problems later, but at least the worst get
fixed. As far as I can tell, Widows XP file explorer, Word 2003, and Excel
2003 still don't provide an option to do a straight ASCII sort.
