Could someone that has Windows XP home edition let me
know if they can access Microsoft Excel regarding
databases & spreadsheets as I can't seem to find this
program anywhere on my computer as greatly needed. Pls
reply asap
 
Microsoft Excel never has been part of the Windows operating system. In
order to get Microsoft Excel you will need to purchase it by itself, or in a
software package (ie Microsoft Office).
Sometimes manufacturers sell a new computer with Microsoft Office installed
as part of a package, but it does not come with Windows.

If you think that Windows XP includes Excel, sorry to tell you
that you're mistaken. Neither it, nor any other version of
Windows, has ever included Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Access, or
any significant other application software. Such programs have to
be bought, either by themselves or as part of Microsoft Office.

If your previous computer, running an older version of Windows,
came with Excel, it was because the vendor who sold it bundled
Excel (or Microsoft Office) as part of the package he sold you,
not because that version of Windows came with Excel.

However, if all you want to do is view existing Excel
spreadsheets, rather than create them yourself, you don't need a
copy of Excel. You can download a free Excel viewer at

Greetings --

It's quite easy, if a bit expensive:

1) Go to store/shop that sells computer software.

2) Purchase either Microsoft Excel or a Microsoft Office suite.

3) Return home.

4) Insert installation CD in PC's CD drive and follow the on-screen
prompts and instructions to install application and desired additional
features.

Neither the Microsoft Office application suite, nor any of its
individual component applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access,
Outlook, etc.), have _ever_ been "part" of *any* Windows operating
system. They are, and always have been, separate applications, that
must be purchased and installed separately.
