Does anyone make a freestanding spreadsheet program that isn't part of an office suite?

I tried OpenOffice, and it's very nice but huge and slow to open. All I'm looking for is a spreadsheet program.

I'll be honest I am no Spreadsheet user

There are no restrictions placed on the trial period or on the number times the software can be executed.

And the Full featured version is a massive $9.95

PS There are free Free template downloads on the Download link (all under 100kbs)

Abykus looks promising... Thanks Bedstor.

there is actually a complete, free, office suite by Sun Microsystems (the Java people) called OpenOffice which includes Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw and Base.

they're the Microsoft equivalent of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Paint (a little more options and functionality) and Access.

it's completely free, open source software, by a trusted company...the only drawback is that it's not Microsoft compatible. You can create but you can't open any previously saved Word documents, Excel spreadsheets or PowerPoint presentations

if you want software to use, this is a great office suite. if you want to use it for others who only have Microsoft compatible programs, it's not going to work because they won't be able to open your documents unless they install it, too.

i have this & it's really good...except for the NOT Microsoft compatible part.

i purchased KingSoft Office which only includes document, spreadsheet & presentation programs for $69.95 (for a single user). you can download it and get a 100 day trial if you just want to check it out. this IS Microsoft compatible

Kingsoft Office isn't free, but it's WAY cheaper than buying Microsoft Office which is about $150.00 for the same if you get the Home/Student version.

if you really need free software, try the OpenOffice.
