Stock Quotes on Excel 2007

[longleacove]

Just upgraded from Windows XP to Vista and from Office XP(2002) to Office
2007.

In Excel 2002 I had downloaded a Microsoft add-in which would obtain stock
info (name, current price, etc.) from any stock symbol. Apparently this
add-in does not work on Excel 2007.

There must be a straightforward way to get my stock quotes in Excel 2007,
but Microsoft is doing a good job of hiding it.
(1) Is this feature built into Excel 2007?
(2) Will the older add-in work with 2007, even though it doesn't say it
will?

I really need this feature, Can someone help?

Most add-ins will work with Excel 2007, so just try it. Is it an MS one or
third party?

You can get MSN stock quotes via the Data tab>Get external data
group>existing data control

You can set the symbols in the url that collects the data

Micorosoft's Stock Quote Add-In works just fine in Excel 2007. The trick
is that the custom tool bar shows up in the Add-Ins ribbon, not
necessarily where you might think to look for it.
