I received my Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop over two years ago and
installed Windows XP then. I have never had Excel. I would like to have
it. Is Excel no longer a component of Windows?

Do I have to reinstall the entire operating system? I have five
Microsoft Works Suite disks.



Neither the Microsoft Office application suite, nor any of its individual component applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook, etc.), have _ever_ been "part" of *any* Windows operating system. They are, and always have been, separate applications, that must be purchased and installed separately.

1) Go to store/shop that sells computer software.

2) Purchase Excel, or the Microsoft Office productivity suite.

3) Return home.

4) Insert installation CD in PC's CD drive and follow the on-screen
prompts and instructions to install application and desired additional
features.

For the budget-minded (who also don't need all of Excel's specific features), there's the free, open source OpenOffice:
