Microsoft Excel X Upgrade for Mac

Summary: MS Excel for Mac OS X upgrade
Review: Microsoft's strength is in the department of "bells and whistles".
This makes their products somewhat complicated to learn and use and takes up lots of memory. I did like some features, for example, the notes for a field showing up in a little balloon that can be viewed without having to open a new window, as in an earlier version.
I had some difficulties with the installation but was talked through the procedure by a very patient tech.
In order to install any one item of the "Office" suite you must install many Megabytes of other stuff that you don't need, but you can trash much of that later.
Customizing the toolbar is a rather difficult and tedious process, especially when you cannot see the function of a tool ,unless you are in the mode in which you cannot trash it.
But overall, once you get it all set up, it does what it is supposed to do , even though the average user will never use most of the many functions.
