This is an upgrade version. Microsoft Excel X for Mac is the latest update of this useful and feature-rich spreadsheet application. Going one step further to help Mac OS X users improve their productivity, Excel X offers new timesaving tools such as Auto Recover and customizable keyboard shortcuts. This version is compatible with Excel 98 Macintosh Edition, Excel 2001 for Mac, and Excel for Windows 97, 2000, and XP. It is also compatible with FileMaker Pro. Simply drag a FileMaker Pro file from the finder onto the Excel X icon, and the Excel X import wizard helps you select the database records to import.
Auto Recover is a new default feature in Excel X that automatically saves your document every 10 minutes. If you lose a document, for example, from a power outage or system crash, Excel X will proceed to automatically recover all files in reverse save order so that the focus will be on the file that was saved last. Keyboard shortcuts are now customizable in Excel X, letting you set up your keyboard as you are used to when working in other Office for Mac-based applications such as Word X.
Excel X for Mac includes a calculator, a first-for-the-Macintosh feature that enables novice spreadsheet users to discover and understand the concept of formulas in cells. Other features include the ability to create transparent charts with Quartz 2-D drawing technology and a list manager to simplify the chore of managing complex lists of data.

MS Excel for Mac OS X upgrade,
By
This review is from: Microsoft Excel X Upgrade for Mac [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
Microsoft's strength is in the department of "bells and whistles".This makes their products somewhat complicated to learn and use and takes up lots of memory. I did like some features, for example, the notes for a field showing up in a little balloon that can be viewed without having to open a new window, as in an earlier version. I had some difficulties with the installation but was talked through the procedure by a very patient tech. In order to install any one item of the "Office" suite you must install many Megabytes of other stuff that you don't need, but you can trash much of that later. Customizing the toolbar is a rather difficult and tedious process, especially when you cannot see the function of a tool ,unless you are in the mode in which you cannot trash it. But overall, once you get it all set up, it does what it is supposed to do , even though the average user will never use most of the many functions.
