Where Can I Find A Very Basic Version Of Microsoft Excel For Free?

I use Excel at work and love it. I’m attempting to set up a budget in a spreadsheet at home and I HATE the basic spreadsheet application on my home computer. I really don’t care if the version of Excel is barebones or from 2002. I just want to be able to change multiple column widths, write formulas and keep a running balance of my checkbook and expenses.

As other have suggested, OpenOffice.org is free and does almost all of what MS Office does.
But if you really need something really basic, you should check Google Docs. It is an office suite that you run from your browser and is completely free. It will do everything you would expect from a spreadsheet application and even more.
You can evaluate it without even installing a single file on your computer.
Check it at: http://docs.google.com

Hi,
I agree with the people suggesting that you try OpenOffice, but the version that comes from OpenOffice.org is a bare version.
More complete versions have support for Visual Basic and have other additional features. They are also free and are derived from the bare version. These are the versions ordinary users should download, not the OpenOffice.org builds.
See the resources for the links.
Thanks.

The quickest solution is to download the latest version demo of Office from Microsoft. It might have more bells and whistles than you need, but its free.

it’s free.
The best “free” spread sheet is the one that comes with “Open Office by Sun Systems. http://www.openoffice.com
