Excel program-where is it???

Question

I have a Dimension 8200, 512 MB running Windows XP Home, SP2.  Microsoft Excel 200 SR-1 is in my program list.  However, when I attempt to open the program a window comes up and tells me to insert the CD.  Does anyone know if I have this program?  Was it pre-installed with the original Windows XP?  Was it part of the Works Suite?  If I don't have it, why is it listed in the program list? redrose451

Excxell is a part of Microsoft Office ( although it can be purchased separately) . . I sounds like Office was uninstalled and it left the shortcut in the start menu.   Can you open Word or PowerPoint?

Was it part of Office Small Business Edition 60 day trial? I had that on my system when I got it.

I remember when I got my first notebook from Dell Excel and other Office products were listed in ProgFiles, but of course not installed. I think the folders are just there so that if you install the Office Suite there is somewhere to put it?

Thank you, all.  You have certainly clarified things!  I have no problem with Word but I don't see PowerPoint listed anywhere.  Perhaps it's correct that Excel was a trial 'freebie'.  Is PowerPoint also an Office application, too?  I sometimes get emails with an attachment entitled PPPs.  Can't open those but that may be my virus protection. I must say this Forum has always been helpful.  I'm grateful there are people willing to lend a hand. THANK YOU!!!   Barbara Rose(redrose451)
