    I second this. Openoffice is a replacement for Word, Excel & Powerpoint.

    Just remember to change the default "always save as" option, so that it saves files as .DOC. .XLS and .PPT.

    yeah, microsoft works is a uiseless pile of crap really.
    openoffice is the only option, unless you want to pay the best part of 100 yoyos for the pleasure of using excel xp:rolleyes:

    1. Excel is commercial software, I very much doubt the mods would appreciate people putting download links for it on here... openoffice is the best you're going to get.

    2. I seriously doubt the excel setup files would be less than 65Mb ;)

    thats about a 5 hour download (give or take a bit depending on what speed you connect at)
    use a download manager such as getright to download it so you won't lose the download if you get disconnected.
    its only going to cost you a few euros ffs:rolleyes:
    i'd say the only copy of excel you'll find to download would be an iso, which could be anywhere between 100mb & 700mb...
    considering that, 65mb for a full office suite is sweet fa really.

    I haven't used this myself, but there's info on a split set multi-volume download here

    If you have problems with that or can't get anyone to download a copy for you there's a list of CD-ROM distributors
    here
