Working with excel files

[Michael]

I need something so that I can open and work in excel files. I'm looking
for something that isn't bloated. The ability to do a word count is a must.
Anyone know of such freeware?

You can't get more lightweight then ThinkFree Lite Online
(http://online.thinkfree.com/), which is free in Beta for now.

According to Microsoft (see
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010346251033.aspx), you
can find the number of Words in a cell in Excel with this formula:

=IF(LEN(TRIM(A1))=0,0,LEN(TRIM(A1))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""))+1)

I tried it in Thinkfree Office locally installed and it worked. I
can't get the online version to work to begin with today, so I can't
test the formula there. Thinkfree Office local is not free.

The formula does not work in the free for personal use, 602 Tab (which
is fairly lite) for some reason, and I don't know how to alter it to
make it work.
