According to the microsoft updates site I have all the updates I need for
Microsoft Office XP Home edition. But, I can't find Excel anywhere on my
computer nor can I find Powerpoint? What am I doing wrong? When I click on
Start and then Programs all I get is Microsoft Office Tools and under that it
just has document imaging and scanning and XP Language Settings. Am I missing
something?

Thank you in advance for any help!
 
Do a Start > Search for Excel.exe. If you can find it, run it. If you can't
find it, install Excel.

Excel is not included with Windows OS.

It is part of MS Office Suite or a stand-alone application.

You don't download Excel. You purchase it or Office Suite from a retailer or
order from MS on line. They will send you a CD.

For info on ordering see this website.

http://www.microsoft.com/office/programs/default.asp to see the Office
products and how to purchase.

Note:you probably don't need XL2003 so browse to the "previous versions"
section.

Check out Ebay for a deal on Office 97 or 2000. If you go this route, make
sure there is a licence for the product.

If you just want to view or print the Excel file you can

Download and install the Excel Viewer from....
