[G4] Appleworks/MS Excel

[rich northouse]

Anne,

Have a high school or college student purchase you an "education 
version" of MS Office. It costs something like $135 at Best Buy and 
others. It is a full working version of Office, which of course 
includes Excel. Perhaps you have a child in school.  Just take them 
with their student ID to Best Buy or ? .
