Excel

Then how do I know I want to keep it? I thought I would be able to try it out
first not just go threw the lessons after all the time it took to download.
Thank you

Buy the product or you can download a limited time trial of the product from
Microsoft
http://us1.trymicrosoftoffice.com/default.aspx?re_ms=oo&culture=en-US.

You may also possibly use the free Open Office program suite that also has
an Excel emulator (a program that almost looks and feels like the original)
http://download.openoffice.org/2.3.1/index.html

Excel, which is part of Microsoft Office suite of programs has never been
included with the operating system (Windows) but may have been included on a
computer by the manufacturer.

You went through the lessons? Online tutorials?
Did you download the Trial Office 2007?
