How to Update Microsoft Excel

1. Use the update feature in Excel. Click the 'Office' logo in the top left corner. Click 'Options.' Click the 'Resources' tab. Click 'Check For Updates' under the 'Get Updates' title. The program will automatically search for updates and download them.
2. Use Microsoft Windows Updater. Click the 'Start Menu,' and type 'Check For Updates' in the 'Start Search' bar. Hit 'Enter' on the keyboard. Windows updater will open. Click 'Download Updated.' Windows Updater will download updates for Excel, Windows and all other Microsoft programs.
3. Upgrade Excel. Excel will only update the version of the software that is installed, not upgrade to a new version. Updating to a new version is considered an upgrade. For example, an update will not turn Excel 2007 into Excel 2010; this requires an upgrade.
