I am wondering if there is a simple form filler to complete an already created excel spread sheet.  
I just got a new PC and there is nothing on it. I looked at buying a program but at $170.00 for a program an engineer could use and I have one form I have to fill out, I just cannot afford to buy that or the limited time programs.

Is there such a thing???

OpenOffice or LibreOffice are the top choices. They’re very similar, but just different enough from Microsoft to avoid legal problems. [Here.](http://www.openoffice.org/download/)
