[comp.sys.mac] MS Excel versions

mcnabb@uiucdcsb.cs.uiuc.edu (01/20/88)

Okay, all you Microsoft Excel fans - just what IS the latest and greatest
version of Excel?  (This is for a 1M Mac Plus, if that matters.)

Is there a upgrade path that is cheaper than just ordering a new one?
(I've got version 1.00, believe it or not.)

Please email your replies.  Thanks in advance!

The local computer center says version 1.04 is the latest for MS Excel.
(Or at least the latest that they have in stock??)

Anyone know for sure?

The last that I saw was 1.06f probably just labelled as 1.06. The date is 
early December 1987, I believe Dec 15 or thereabouts.

I spoke with a dealer today and he indicated that 1.05 is the most
recent.

From reading stuff here, I think that at MacExpo there was the release of   
version 1.5 (previous version 1.05) for the Mac.

MS Excel is at Version 1.06 or so I was told at MacWorld by a person in the MS
Booth. I was there to complain about the MultiFinder bugs with 1.04 with regard
to large memory spaces. I have 8megs and Excel bombs far to often as it uses
more and more memory. I was told that by calling 1-206-882-8089 and asking
Excel Product Support for the Excel 1.06 patch I would be fixed... Go for it!

The version announced at the Expo was version 1.5, and it's function-compatible
with the PC version of Excel. Version 2.0, due out sometime later this year,
will have all of the features of the PC version. As for the current version:
according to Microsoft, there was no official 1.05 release, since they
didn't want to confuse people with 1.05->1.5. The last version before 1.5
was supposed to be 1.06, and anything you have marked 1.05 is supposed to
be a beta.

This is just what I was told. If I'm wrong, I welcome the correction.
