Excel 2000 Template download

[George]

I've tried to download several Excel 2000 templates and getting an error
message telling me that Excel 2000 is old and I should upgrade.

Is there a way to download templates into Excel 2000

 

[JoAnn Paules]

I'd bet money that that message didn't quite phrase it that way. Your only
choice, if you aren't going to upgrade is to stick with compatible
templates.

Are they really Excel 2000 templates? Could you give us a link to one?

George's question is legitimate.

I know that it is shared by others - including myself. Why did he not get a
helpful answer? As I go through Microsoft forums I become discouraged. I will
not be buying an expensive Microsoft product that is absent a useful
operations manual, comes without a reasonable amount of free technical, and
is supported only by "smart" remarks on a useless forum.

There will not be any need for me to purchase any further Microsoft
products. Nor does my livelihood require me to developer programs or
applications any longer for Windows operating systems. I found satisfactory
replacements for all things Microsoft.

I can not understand why Microsoft has tried so hard to drive customers
away. They have been successful in doing it. Such as strange marketing system.

I'd bet money that that message didn't quite phrase it that way. Your only
choice, if you aren't going to upgrade is to stick with compatible
templates.

It is a valid question but all manufacturers stop supporting their product
at some point. You cannot reasonably expect them to do otherwise.

My answer wasn't smart. I stated that the error message he says he got
probably was not phrased the way he said and I suggested that he only use
version-compatible templates. I'm sorry if I didn't add of lot of fluffy
language to my answer to satisfy your needs. I stated the facts and it did
it in simple English terms.
