What is the Beta version? Is it just a more or less incomplete version of the
new Excel, and can I probably use it for my spreadsheets without major problems (I would really benefit from the greater number of columns)? How would I get the Beta version? Thanks. |

For availability, check he
http://www.microsoft.com/office/prev...etthebeta.mspx 'Beta' means software that is still in test status. It may (most probably will) have bugs in it that could affect operations at any level from mildly annoying to application destroying. I've seen mention of problems with it even recently in this very discussion forum, so it definitely has some known issues. If your spreadsheets are business related and something you can't risk having go south on you, I'd stick with what you have for the time being. Software usually goes through a couple of Beta versions and then on into RC versions. RC standing for Release Candidate - meaning it's pretty firm, but may have issues given a specific combination of hardware, software and use on any given system. I'll leave it to others who are actually using it inn its current incarnation to tell you how much trouble it might or might not give you right now. "Christian" wrote: What is the Beta version?
