I can't get excel to work. Originally I tried to download the free 30 day trial that was on microsofts website. When it finally downloaded and I opened the program, it told me that I had to activate it. Every time i would click ok to activate it would say can do this at this time. Did that for about three days, uninstalled and reinstalled and still the same. Then I tried to find a free old copy I could just download and use, but that didn't yeild anything either. I got it to work on my computer at work just fine, but I'm sure the boss would frown on beer research on company comps.
