Is excel available to download for free or must I purchase?
 

Where can I download excel..

Hi Lost
Usually from your local software retailer. Excel isn't available "Free".
However, you can download an Excel viewer to look at files but they can't be
edited
Do a Google for Excel viewer.
Alternatively, look at downloading Open Office, which is free and has a
spreadsheet component for Excel.

Here is a link to the MS Office free download site, where XL reader is
available.

What do *you* mean by "free":

* free as in free beer (gratis): no, but you can find relatively cheap
copies on Amazon.com. Take care not to buy an OEM version because those
are illegal to sell.
* Free as in Free speech (libre): no, Excel isn't, never was, and
probably will never be Free Software. If you are interested in a Free
(or Open) spreadsheet, try OpenCalc from OpenOffice:
http://openoffice.org. You can download it (80MB, free(gratis)) or
order installation disks (Free(libre) but not free(free)).
