Where can I download something to edit excel documents?

Question

Where can I download something that will let me view and EDIT xls pages/documents. My new job requires me to edit and return excel documents, but the excel program did not come with my Windows XP, so all I can do is view them. I need to edit and send it back.

If anyone knows how I can overcome this problem, it would be so appreciated.

Again, I need to know where I can download some program that will allow me to edit excel spread sheets.

Thanks

Answer 1

Microsoft Excel is not free, but there is a free alternative. Try Open Office, a free alternative to Microsoft Office and is completely compatible with Office programs. The spreadsheet software Calc included in Open Office is just like Microsoft Excel.

OpenOffice.org is the leading open-source office software suite  for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more. It is available in many languages  and works on all common computers. It stores all your data in an international open standard format and can also read and write files from other common office software packages. It can be downloaded and used completely free of charge for any purpose.

Hi

OpenOffice and Google docs are good suggestions, but OxygenOffice might be the best alternative if you don't want to purchase Microsoft Excel.

Answer 4

You can also upload documents to Google Docs (docs.google.com) to edit and save documents for using.  Handy if you already have Gmail or another Google account.

Take care.

Answer 5

OpenOffice is a great suggestion, I give you a thumbs up.

But if you rather not download or install any application, you can try Google Documents where you can edit the file online.

Either way will solve your problem.
