Excel included in MS Office Word 2003?
On the back of the box that my MS Office Word (STE) disc came in, it shows
that Excel should be included as part of the package. A couple questions: 1) Should I have gotten Excel with this purchase? 2) Is Excel the program I need to open .XLS files? 3) If I download Excel Viewer 2003 from this website, will I be able to read ..XLS files? |

Yes, Excel should be included, though it's possible you didn't install it.
Yes, it is what is needed to open .XLS files. Yes, the Excel viewer will permit you to view and print (but not edit) the files, but if you install Excel (which you already own), you'll be able to edit them. -- Suzanne S.

Just a wee bit of clarification. Excel is not part of Word. It is a separate
program that is included in the Students and Teachers Edition. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "CoraDory" wrote in message news On the back of the box that my MS Office Word (STE) disc came in, it shows that Excel should be included as part of the package.

Excel included in MS Office Word 2003?
Thanks Suzanne. I just re-installed the complete Word CD a couple of hours
ago and still can't seem to find Excel anywhere. I may be doing something wrong but the word processor program is working fine. I'll try one more installation - maybe I missed something. If that doesn't work I'll download the Excel viewer since all I really need to do is read price lists sent as XLS files. Thanks again! "Suzanne S.

Do you just have Word or do you have Office? If all you have is Word, then
you do not have Excel. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "CoraDory" wrote in message ... Thanks Suzanne.

Excel included in MS Office Word 2003?
Hi JoAnn
What I have is a retail box of MS Word 2003 for Students and Teachers. When I re-installed, I checked every application and Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook are nowhere to be found. I do have a question on the Excel Viewer download - when I tried to run/install the program, I got an error message that installation could not be completed because xlviewer.cab file is missing. Any help on this one?? |

Now I'm confused. I've never seen Word for Students and Teachers. What I
have seen is Office for Students and Teachers. Please double check what your CD says. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "CoraDory" wrote in message ...

Full title - Microsoft Office Word 2003 for Students and Teachers.
Do you know why I would get the message that the xlviewer.cab file is missing when I try to install the Excel Viewer? "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote: Now I'm confused.

Yup - only one CD in the box. It was ordered online through Circuit City and
came sealed in the Microsoft box. http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Micro...oductDetail.do "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote: Okay........... Is that the ONLY CD to that software? I'm asking because I've never seen Word for Students and Teacher but I have seen Office for Students and Teachers. |

http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Offi...451313?ie=UTF8
Seems crazy to pay $120 for Word alone when you can get Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook for $110. Or http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Micro...oductDetail.do It's a just a wee bit more that Amazon but you'd be dealing with the same company. I would *strongly* recommend that you consider exchanging that for the Office version if you need Excel. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "CoraDory" wrote in message ...

Agreed, I was assuming it was the Office STE--didn't even notice the
reference to Word alone. -- Suzanne S.

My error. If all you have is Word, then all you have is Word. Like JoAnn,
I'd never heard of a Student and Teacher Edition of just Word; I was assuming you had Office STE. -- Suzanne S.

Apparently MS is offering the programs separately. And unfortunately people
don't realize that they can buy them together cheaper. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... My error.
