Excel for Windows 98 SE

Question

Running Windows 98 SE - 2007 excel is not compatible - where can I purchase a copy of Excel that is compatible with 98 SE?   Thank you

You will have to look around the used market or possibly e-bay for Office 2000 or Excel 2000.  There is also the Office 2003 edition but I don't know if it's Win98 compatible.

If you search the web for Excel 97 you may find some sites that still sell it. Message Edited by JRosenfeld on 06-23-2007 11:20 PM

As an alternative, there's a legitimate and completely free OFFICE "clone", called OPEN OFFICE, available for download from SUN Microsystems.

OpenOffice CALC (one of 6 programs in the OpenOffice suite) is their version of Excel

The latest version, 2.2.1, offers bug/security fixes, and "enhanced Vista integration"... yet it still runs on older platforms, including Win 98

See here:
