Microsoft Excel 97 - 2003

Does any one know where I can download the old version of microsoft for free???

they may be old version, but they are still commercial software, if anyone does answer this with a link to download it for free it's firstly going to be illegal, and secondly very likely to contain a virus.

Look on ebay, you will probably be able to buy an old copy for next to nothing

Thanks...

I actually thought that you could maybe get it for free since the new version is out, silly me.

Thanks I will take a look.

if you only need it short term then you can download a 60day trial of the latest version from MS

if you want an office suite and it doesn't have to be from MS then open office is a good, free alternative.

If you really need an old version of MS office then Ebay is the best bet.

This is Microsoft we are talking about here!

Bill Gates did not get rich giving away their software !

If you're just after a free, simple spreadsheet, you could try Google Docs and Spreadsheets:

It works in the browser rather than needing to be installed.
