You don't download Excel. You purchase it or Office Suite from a retailer or order from MS on line. They will send you a CD. For info on ordering see this website. http://www.microsoft.com/office/programs/default.asp to see the Office products and how to purchase. Note:you probably don't need XL2003 so browse to the "previous versions" section. Check out Ebay for a deal on Office 97 or 2000. If you go this route, make sure there is a licence for the product. If you just want to view or print the Excel file you can Download and install the Excel Viewer from.... http://office.microsoft.com/download.../xlviewer.aspx Gord Dibben Excel MVP On Tue, 18 Jan 2005 13:01:22 -0800, " wrote: i need to download excel on to my pc from the web, can anyone explain how i do this, please |

OOo Calc version 2, when it comes out, will be much more of a challenger to Excel. Version 1.* doesn't support conditional counting and summing using SUMPRODUCT, nor does it handle ROW() or COLUMN() calls inside array formulas the same way Excel does. However, for the 80% of users who use 20% of Excel's features, it does seem perfectly adequate. [As in the sense that OpenOffice *should* be a Microsfot Works killer. Someday it may be a Microsoft Office killer, but that day is still a few years off.] |

You *can* download XL from the web, albeit a trial version. Start with
http://www.microsoft.com/office/trial/default.mspx Depending on why you want it, the trial version may be adequate. -- Regards, Tushar Mehta www.tushar-mehta.com Excel, PowerPoint, and VBA add-ins, tutorials Custom MS Office productivity solutions In article , says... i need to download excel on to my pc from the web, can anyone explain how i do this, please |

And this web page shows the condition: "This trial software is intended for evaluation purposes only." Presumably if the OP wanted Excel for anything other than evaluating it, s/he couldn't legally use the demo, no? |

Apparently, MS has decided, with 2003, to make a trial version available for download. AFAIK, that is a significant departure from the past. MacOffice has had a TestDrive version for several years now (starting with Office v.X and continuing with Office 2004). It's a 30 day trial, and it doesn't print (but does print preview). And, once the trial version concept takes root, how much longer can it be before one can make a phone call (or visit a website), charge $abc to a credit card, and get an 'activation' code? With MacOffice TestDrive, IIRC, the software is permanently crippled (e.g., the print code is not included), so that a full version has to be installed from CD. I'd expect that to be the model for future versions - but of course, MacOffice doesn't have Activation, so I don't know if that would make a difference. |
