Thanks.

Why not use a free online Excel? You only need Microsoft Account that
is also free (hotmail, outlook or MSN). The file you create can be
saved on your hard disk so don't be fooled by people telling you that it
is in the cloud because it is not. It is yours on your HD. The App is
in the cloud but who cares as long as you have internet when you want it.

Office 2003 cannot be activated as the servers has been closed down by
Microsoft. You need to use Telephone method to activate it in the same
way as Windows XP.

Good luck.

1. Every version of Excel is different, and Excel 2003 has some useful and
needed methods, not available elsewhere.

2., Online? Where i have ZERO control, ZERO portability, and ZERO security?

3 The so-called "Telephone method" cannot work as the phone number was
disconnected a few years ago.
