You would purchase Microsoft Office, or just Excel or do like me and use the freely available Open Office from http://www.openoffice.org
I have Windows XP for home.
I have many files that are sent to me in Excel.
I am unable to work with them.
I would like to know how to get Excel for my system?
Thank you.
