Not yet but feel free to start your own rumors! <G>

As far as I know there is no date set when MS Office will be available
in 64 bit, if I'm wrong, someone will correct me.

What would be the point? 16 bits already is enough character code for all
the languages. Excel doing 64 bit math? Why?

Bragging rights? Be the first on your block to have the biggest,
fastest, shiniest?

Next week, I'm upgrading from a TRS-80 model III to a model IV, SO
THERE! ;-)

Hey, I just got an expansion box for my TI-99/4A. Just think, no more tapes
but use them new fangled 5.25 inch single sided disks.

Still got one of those stashed away for historical purposes. And a few
floppies that are double notched so you can use both sides too.

Forgot about the double notching. Did many of them too since in those days
the floppies were expensive.

I think I did have some software that could do lowercase, maybe it was a
video enhancement. Also added an external keyboard that was almost big
enough to actually type with.

No, and there will be no 64 bit Office 2007.

Since 8 bits is a buck, I suppose you could say Microsoft will be
selling 24 bit Office in China!

Milly, I'm doing scientific calculations in Excel, my preferred platform for
computations; I have a mix of numbers from 10E60 down to 10E-23 or less and
functions (sqrt, ^2, 8, /, etc).

With the 32-bit architecture, I cannot get past the 15 digit limit. And the
numeric results are either zero or some negative number (floating point
errors/overflows).

Is there time horixzon for 64-bit Excel or a beta version I could use?

Thanks,
Ben

Not that I know of. So far Office comes in 32bit only. There is no Beta 64 bit or was there talk or plans of it yet

There are no plans for a 64 bit office until at least Office 14, far off on the horizon. And even then, Microsoft has not said.

You might want to look into Excel Services:
http://blogs.msdn.com/excel/archive/2005/11/08/490502.aspx
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms546696.aspx

I know that it can be used to leverage the computing power of servers,
but I don't know whether it supports 64 bit or not. Your best bet for
finding out about this is asking in the Excel newsgroup. The Excel MVPs
would know better and they generally don't post in this newsgroup here.

You're suffering from inaccurate assumptions. The ONLY numeric data type
used in Excel is 64-bit (double precision) floating point. It's unlikely
64-bit machines would provide either 80-bit or 128-bit extended precision
floating point data types as native numeric data types.

FWIW, if you need to perform arithmetic on numbers having more than 15
decimal digits, you shouldn't be using Excel or any other spreadsheet. FWIW,
you could use MAXIMA, a symbolic math program now free and hosted on
SourceForge.

http://maxima.sourceforge.net/

AFAIK there's no spreadsheet in existence that provides arbitrary precision
arithmetic operations.

However, if you're truly performing SCIENTIFIC calculations, then you
presumably understand that numeric precision is usually quite limited in
scientific data. 10 significant digits is the outer edge of what you could
usually expect, and Excel comfortably handles that already.
