CAN I PURCHASE EXCEL ONLY WITHOUT BUYING MICROSOFT OFFICE?

[Guest]

My operating system is XP. I have Microsoft Works that doesn't include
Excel. I am taking an online Accounting course in college that requires
Excel. I would prefer not to puchase the complete Microsoft Office software
just to get the Excel program. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi
you could buy Excel as standalone program. I would recommend searching
Ebay for an onlder version of Excel. e.g. Excel 2000 or Excel 2002.

If you want to buy retail you should know that while Excel 2003 is sold
standalone for $229:

you can get the Student edition of all of Office for just $149:

In addition to what Jim & Frank said, ask if your course can be taken with
xl97. If so, try ebay for excel 97 which should be very inexpensive. Just be
sure you get a legal version and try for version xl97sr2.
