straight life,

<< I wanted MS WORD, so I had to take MS Excel to get it (through MS Office) >>

MS Word can be purchased stand alone, but a real good value is MS Works V6 which contains (I believe) the full edition of Word for $50, or the Works Suite for $95. The Suite includes:

- Microsoft Word 2000
- Microsoft Works 6.0
- Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia Standard 2001
- Microsoft Money 2001
- Microsoft Picture It! Publishing 2001
- Microsoft Streets & Trips 2001
- Microsoft Outlook Express
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5

Works V6 bundles a decent spreadsheet (native Excel file format) as well as a database, calendar, address book, & e-mail tools.

My most indispensable MS Office book is "Special Edition Using Microsoft Office 2000", by Ed Bott, and Woody Leonhard.

amazon.com

It is aimed at Office power users but can make a power user out of a beginner quickly. It has 8 chapters on Excel, and a great CD-ROM for Word power users.

<< good book for the tech and/or math challenged among us >>

Being very math (and Excel) challenged myself, my most frequently referenced Excel book is "Teach Yourself Microsoft Excel 2000 VISUALLY".

amazon.com

<< DCF-analysis-through-spreadsheet instruction >>

For this you really need either a spreadsheet template or worksheet (with formulas set up) or the formulas. Someone should be able to supply one or the other or provide a link.
