Amazon.com Product Description
Excel 2002 gives novice and intermediate users more confidence in working with spreadsheets. Excel 2002 makes more of the existing functionality easier to discover and provides more intelligence to help assure users that they are not making mistakes. For the advanced users, Excel focuses on making common tasks easier and more intuitive. Excel 2002 is designed to make it easy for anyone to share data with others, connect to important data on the Web or within an organization, and analyze that data to make better decisions.
Excel 2002 allows users to spend time analyzing their data rather than worrying about their software. For example, in the past, if an error were to occur, it was likely that the user would have had to spend a significant amount of time recreating their work. With the reliability features in Excel 2002, users can continue to work even in the unlikely event of an error. Furthermore, a variety of security enhancements have been included in Excel 2002 to help users feel more secure when working with their spreadsheets.
Use the new error-checking smart tag to alert users via a smart tag of a possible error in a cell. Excel 2002 users can select a command to resolve the error, ignore it, or access further error-checking options. Function Argument Tooltips displays information about function arguments as users build a new formula. The tooltips also provide a quick path to Help. Simply click any function or argument name within the tooltip. Easily track results of multiple cells with the Watch Window, even while working on a different sheet or workbook. This prevents users from having to switch back and forth or scroll between sheets to keep track of important data. Easily dictate, navigate, and provide other commands using a microphone while working on their spreadsheets. Furthermore, Excel also supports text-to-speech, which enables Excel to read back values as part of checking a spreadsheet's contents. (Note: Speech is currently available for U.S. English, simplified Chinese, and Japanese.)

3.0 out of 5 stars
Nice changes to a great spreadsheet program,
This review is from: Microsoft Excel 2002 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
Smart tags can be more annoying than anything else, however can be disabled. Handy though, is their ability to detect errors in formulas, and find the otherwise impossible to find mistake in a large speadsheet. Also cool is "border painting" feature.Many things stay the same as 2000, though. I'm not sure that the very expensive upgrade is worth it, and you can no longer upgrade from Works, or from a standalone program (e.g. Word), but rather from an Office Suite ONLY. Be careful when ordering just the upgrade!

Good, but not $$$ better than OpenOffice.org,
This review is from: Microsoft Excel 2002 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
Of course, Excel is a lovely product, though whether you need the upgrade is highly questionable. I found this pretty much just MS trying to create a need they can charge for. Especially since you can open and create Excel spreadsheets for free without actually buying Excel... or order StarOffice 6.0 here on Amazon. Excel 2002 is fine, but like a $6000 umbrella stand for your dog, not a lot of people actually need it.

My Review On Excel 2002,
By A Customer
This review is from: Microsoft Excel 2002 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
I belive that excel on a whole is a well made item and deserves a lot of credit, but i also believe that when i bought Microsoft Excel 98 i could have just updated it over the internet every time there was an addition was available! There is no need now-a-days to keep putting the same software on disks and selling it off at extortionate prices, plus it probably has some kind of monitoring software in it as well, most Microsft items do. These are the reasons that i have given it a 2 star... it has extremely good potential but it is to expensive and to overrated for its price.
