Hi,

Is there a way I could just purchase the Microsoft Office Excel product
without having to purchase in conjuction with other Microsoft Office products
as indicated in the page below ?:

Hi,

Thanks for your reply !

Two things, one is will I still get Microsoft support if I were to purchase
Microsoft Office Excel through such means ?

The other is that I already have Microsoft Office 60 Day Trial version that
was preinstalled with the computer.

Will it cause any problems if I purchase Microsoft Office Excel outside of
the Microsoft website ?

And again, is the implication there is that as of now, I'd not be able to
solely purchase Microsoft Excel from the Microsoft website unless it's in
conjuction with a couple of other Microsoft Office products, right ?

Thanks again !

Yes, if you purchase a new (never used, never installed) copy, you will
receive support, as described in their License Terms. See
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/HA102103171033.aspx

The other is that I already have Microsoft Office 60 Day Trial version
that was preinstalled with the computer. <

If it was me, I would uninstall the Trial before installing the new
software. But, it could be that the new software detects the Trial and
avoids any conflicts.

I have never had a problem with a new (never used, never installed) copy.

And again, is the implication there is that as of now, I'd not be able to
solely purchase Microsoft Excel from the Microsoft website unless it's in
conjuction with a couple of other Microsoft Office products, right ? <

I don't understand. Your original message referenced a Microsoft web page
that says retailers have just Excel for $229 Full or $109.95 Upgrade. That's
without any other Office products. My message referenced an Amazon page that
offers just Excel 2007 for $192.99 Full.

For non-commercial use, if you don't need Outlook, the best deal is Amazon's
Office Home & Student 2007 for $113.49 (today). If you wish, you could
install only Excel without Word and PowerPoint.

Mike,

Okay, which brings the next question. Why is the Microsoft Office Home &
Student cheaper even though it includes 3 Office products ? Than it is to
purchase just the Microsoft Excel product itself ?

Thanks !
