Free Version of Microsoft Office?

We have Windows XPhome on our computer and find that we need Xcell for some reports we have been asked to do. I have heard that there is a free download of Xcell from microsoft if you own a licensed version of windows. Is that true? And how would you go about getting it? I am also interested in learning Power Point and have been told that is also available for free download. I just need to know if what I have been told is correct or if I will need to purchase those programs separately for my computer. Thanks

Change Excel Find Formula Defaults

Dear Westley, In an xcell worksheet, using the "find" icon initially, the settings are for "rows" and "formulas". I rarely search by rows and almost never by formulas. It would be far handier if the "initial" choices were already set to "columns" and "values" -- which is how I search 98% of the time. Q -- Is there a way to change the script so that the initial choices would be set to the way I most often search?

What page am I on?

I've got a macro that searches through Word documents looking for broken bookmarks and TOC entries and generates a report so they can be fixed. The problem is I can find the broken elements, but I don't know what page they're on so I can manually find them and fix them. How do I find out what page number I'm on inside of a macro?
