Excel

[potty64]

EXCEL doesn't seem to be listed on my 'All Programmes'. I have Windows Vista - shouldn't EXCEL automatically be on it?

Windows 8 Pro. And, for the record, there is a Start button... :-)

"I'm absolutely loving Windows 8"

Me too.... and 1 out of the 3 major driver/software glitches I've had have been fixed in the last two weeks (displaylink)

Just waiting for the WiDi issues to be sorted and samsung to fix their software updater.

I have a Microsoft Surface, methyl, running Windows RT. I'll be getting the full Windows 8 Pro version as soon as it comes out next year...

"What tablet do you use? I am genuinely interested."

Why would it have to be a tablet.... I'm using it on a ultrabook (without a touch screen) and it's fine.

[MarkRae]

I'm just waiting for Toshiba to finalise their own drivers for my Satellite Pro too, Chuck...

[ChuckFickens]

Ah, sorry, didn't spot MR saying he actually had a tablet.

We have an RT tablet in for evaluation at work and it's great, the pro versions should be stunning if the type covers work well.

[MarkRae]

Yep, not least because GoToMyPC will work on them natively. LogMeIn on Windows RT is rubbish...

I still think that Atari TOS was, and will always remain, better than anything from Microsoft! (Pagestream, which was as good as the latest version of Quark Xpress, fitted on just a dozen floppies - and cost me 250 quid in 1989!)

[ChuckFickens]

I'm still sad that workbench (amiga) didn't really go anywhere, at the time of version 3 it was far better then anything from anyone else.

BTW, potty64, apologies for all the resident geeks going off topic on your thread.

Potty64:
Apologies for nicking your thread but I think that we've established that you need to download Excel Viewer (if you only want to view a spreadsheet) or OpenOffice (if you want to create one free of charge). Alternatively, you can buy Excel.

Chuck:
I'm beginning to feel old!
(OK, 'older'!)

CRIKEY! I really started something!! Anyway I've yet to 'jump' to OPEN OFFICE. (Bin Christmas shopping!) Thanks again everyone for the advice.
