MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / October 2007excel
I am interested in learning to use excel. I currently have a Windows XP Home edition version 2002 that only has Microsoft works. Wondering what excel program I should purchase to be able to load it on my computer. I am thinking of also getting a training program for the excel. Any help would be appriciated. Some things to consider. Excel 2007 is brand new. It still has some "issues" that need to be ironed out. Excel 2003 has been around for several years and all known issues have been pretty much taken care of. Since it sounds like you haven't used Excel before so the learning curve for either version should be equal. To take advantage of all the features in Excel 2007 you need a pretty "strong" machine.

So either version of Excel should work fine on my XP Home eddition Version 2002 Service Pack 2? I have a Pentium 4, 1.69 GHz, 384 MB Ram and plenty of space on the hard drive. > Some things to consider. > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > be > > appriciated. Here are the *minimum* system requirements for the various Office 2007 components: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/HA101668651033.aspx Your system specs meet those requirements, but just barely (ram). Here are the *minimum* system requirements for Excel 2003: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/HA102126851033.aspx I don't want to try to influence you one way or the other but I still use Excel 2002. There's not much of a difference from Excel 2002 to Excel 2003 but there is a huge difference from those versions compared to Excel 2007. But, since you've not used either you will not know the difference. SignatureBiff Microsoft Excel MVP > Thanks so much.
