Where do I find Excel on XP Home?
According to the microsoft updates site I have all the updates I need for
Microsoft Office XP Home edition. But, I can't find Excel anywhere on my computer nor can I find Powerpoint? What am I doing wrong? When I click on Start and then Programs all I get is Microsoft Office Tools and under that it just has document imaging and scanning and XP Language Settings. Am I missing something? Thank you in advance for any help! |

Do a Start Search for Excel.exe. If you can find it, run it. If you can't
find it, install Excel. -- Gary's Student "jmc" wrote: According to the microsoft updates site I have all the updates I need for Microsoft Office XP Home edition.

Excel is not included with Windows OS. It is part of MS Office Suite or a stand-alone application. 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 Fri, 7 Oct 2005 11:18:02 -0700, jmc wrote: According to the microsoft updates site I have all the updates I need for Microsoft Office XP Home edition.
