Hey, Guys! Sorry for the long subject line, but here's the deal: I need Microsoft Excel, but it is as expensive as a big dog, so I was considering Open Office's Excel alternative, because of course, it is free. <smile> Have any of you used the Open Office suite, and more specifically, the program similar to Microsoft Excel? I do believe in observing copyright law, so a pirated copy won't solve my problem. <smile> Any suggestions about where to find Excel inexpensively? ... yes, I know that last question was a waste of my time and yours! <smile> Thanks in advance! You guys are the best, and I wish I had joined years ago!
