How do I doanload Excel 97?

[Guest]

I'm taking a accounting class on line and our teacher say we can download
free templates. I can download the templates but I can't edit or do the work
to email to my teacher. Every time I go to open and edit it tells me that
microsoft excel is not downloaded correctly. Help me please because I have
to turn my work in.

Hi

you need to actually purchase excel 97 - templates are just predesigned
workbooks.

However, having said that, the latest version of Excel is 2003 (so there's
excel 2000 & 2002 between 97 & 2003). The latest version can be purchased
from just about anywhere but you might like to check out E-Bay (or similar)
for prior versions. Personally, if i was buying an older version i would
buy Excel Version 2000 with SR-1 (as AFAIK this is no longer available from
microsoft) - but you also need to ensure that you buy the "full" version not
the "upgrade" one (as this requires a previous version to be installed). If
you decide to buy ver 2003 be sure that your computer meets the system
requirements.

Cheers

As Julie said, you can't download Excel 97. However, you may be able to
download a trial copy of Office 2003. There's information here:

And, you may qualify for an Academic version of Office 2003, which has a
lower price than the regular version. There's information here:

If this is for school you will want to buy the most applicable version for
your current daily use. When you do that you can contact Microsoft and
purchase a downgrade version of office 97. Mine cost $15.00
