    Can not determine what version of excel I have


    ver 2003 12624.20382 I can not find a direct answer to this.
    THis can not be ver 2003

    I am familuate with office 2007 or office 2010 or office 2016 but I have no idea what build 12624.20382 this information is not useful to me. I have no idea what version my office is.
    I was having problems with excel and Adobe acrobat only export just one picture of my price sheet when I made a PDF so I installed a older version of office.
    No I have this problem of excel not letting me see my page breaks. I would like to resolve this issue but have no idea exactly what version of office I am using. I do not know if they have fixed the page break problem.

    On one system I did have build ver 2002 12527.20287 I installed a older version because LIke I said the newer version only thought I needed to export only one picture when I exported a price sheet to acrobat. Maybe now they have fixed this issue or maybe they are still trying to show us who is in charge.
    So I updated office and now it says verson 2004 (build 12730.20270) What do I type in to google

    "Page breaks will not show up on Excel ver 2004 (build 12730.20270)" that is not going to work out. I need to know how to determine what version of excel I have before I can begin to fix issues.

    - - - Updated - - -

    So I updated office to its newest version 2004 (build 12730.20270) well at least now I can export a to a PDF and it DOES retain the pictures that were in the spreadsheet. Now I just need to find out why excel no longer shows my page breaks when i insert one of them.

    Look in C:\Program Files (x86) folder.

    Look for a Microsoft Office folder inside that.

    Look for any kind of Office folder inside that. Do you see an Excel.exe file inside it?

    Most programs have an About somewhere in their menus/toolbars. Microsoft Office uses year as their suite number but the individual applications have a Version number in that About, maybe on the Help item. The version number is different from the suite number up until 2016 where the suite number is 2016 and the version number is 16. They skipped version number 15. A reference:

    I see microsoft .net here in that But not office .86 refers to the 8086 ? like 286 386 486 Im ancient. ! Or is it 32 bit programs that go in that folder ?
    Look in C:\Program Files (x86) folder.
    I must learn to deal with these issues without getting so anxious. When they arise I get to feeling like mad and it just makes it worse and makes it take longer and I end up thinking all this crap that is not true. Rarely is it a thing where Microsoft is taking away functionality to prove their in power or to manipulate me into doing something. Thinking like this is a bad habit on my part that I am breaking. Part of me likes to be ornery about it. I should not assume Microsoft is doing this and that just to get sadistic pleasure ! Instead of dealing with these issues in a irrational way I need to step back and be with my wisest self and think hmmm now what would be the best way to resolve this issue.
