Or install OOo, of course. :-)
I am in a similar situation, except that for what do with calc, ~can't~ be done with excel. Too many limitations. When there are problems, I mention that it is because M$ isn't as capable, and for what I do, it is true. I also like to ask them if they 'own' their data. (documents) They will always say yes, and it isn't true. I explain that as long as it is saved in M$ format, the data belongs to M$, and they can charge what they want to let you access it. I then mention the Mass. open document situation. Therefore, if it isn't something that Ooo can do, then it probably is fluff and their is another ~easier~ way to do it. Makes saving as M$ files, that show errors when converting to their proprietary format, more tolerable.
