I think what your friendly Dell sales/helpdesk person was saying is that OpenOffice (OOo) is seen as a replacement for MS office. It is not the same thing as Excel but there is a spreadsheet component called Calc. This does close to exactly the same thing (and in some things does it better) as Excel.
If however you already have Office 2006, and you don't need to move to another office package, then my recommendation (unfortunately) would be to stick to MS Office. If however you do need something other than MS Office OOo can be freely downloaded from www.openoffice.org. You do not need to register to download.

Dear Open Office, I just called the Dell On Call station and they told me that I should come to your website and figure out what kind of excel that we have. He clued me in that we do have Microsoft 2006 and I was just wondering if that was the same thing as the excel that we have. I really do not think that is the answer to my question, because it does not sound like an excel program. the computer that we have is DIMENSION E510. Also do we need to register into your webpage to get the scoop? The reason why I'm asking this question is because my mother is being a treasurer for my dance company. I would like you to e-mail me back at this e-mail address with anything you know. Thank you for your time. -Bonney Dennis [EMAIL PROTECTED]
