Are all the Office versions fully functional? Some years ago I was 
looking into buying a cheapo version of Excel before discovering that 
the particular version did not support the macro facility offered by 
VBA. Excel without VBA would be completely useless for me - practically 
every workbook of mine incorporates macros. I'm still using Excel2000 as 
it does everything I need and I've never identified a feature I want to 
use in the more recent versions. And I could never adjust to that ribbon....
