how to get windows excel

My computer was purchased from a computer fair.(Not able
to reach seller). We did not find out until much later
that our Windows XP was what is called a manufacters copy,
Thus, missing some basics. I would like to get Windows
Excel. Where do I get this? TIA

Excel is a Microsoft Office Product and is not packaged with Windows, which is
an operating system.

Cannot be downloaded. Must be purchased at retailer or from Microsoft.

For XL97 or 2000 check out Ebay or search for MS Office 97/2000 on the net.

If you buy off the web, be sure the licence comes with the
package.

For best cost-effectiveness, you would be better off purchasing the Microsoft
Office Suite of Applications rather than a standalone Excel.

Options.
