You would be better served by posting your question to one of the MS Office
newsgroups.

In case you don't get the answer you're wanting to hear, there's an alternative
solution and it's free. It's called OpenOffice.

You can get the whole suite of productivity apps that are very similar to and
compatible with the MS Office suites. See this link for more info:

OpenOffice.org 1.1
http://www.openoffice.org/product/index.html

Here's a link to an article that gives you a pro & con comparison to the latest
MS Office suite:

Office 2003 vs. OpenOffice.Org

Good luck!
