    Excel help

    My Microsoft Office 2010 trial version is over and I can't download another trial I tried. I don't have 200 something dollars to buy the full version, but I want to use the Global Score spreadsheet.

    -Does anyone know of any safe alternatives I could run the xls file in?

    I'm looking for something free. I thought I'd ask here, because I don't trust some of the alternatives I've found. They could have hidden viruses in them. idk

    Can you confirm that it works? Also do you have a link because the main download page for it says there's server issues or something.

    Another alternative is to use Google Docs.

    I have my TrialsHD spreadsheet on my gDocs account and can access it anywhere that I have internet.. I haven't updated it in FOREVER, but that's another option.
