    You can download Open Office http://www.openoffice.org/it is an excellent office suite similar to MS Office, also opens MS office file types.
    most important though its FREE :j

    Agree with the above post, my wife has open office on her laptop, works fine for Exel, Word, Powerpoint etc. Even used it to open a mortgage calculator spreadsheet with lots of calculations in with no probs.:D

    Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

    I agree with albert if you already have office 2003 why would you want a cut down inferior version?
