Office Upgrade

I just recently purchased a computer which does not currently have Office (or
Excel). However, the Microsoft website list 5 or 6 things and says that I
have to have one of them to purchase Office UPGRADE. I do have Windows XP
and Microsoft Works, these are 2 of the things listed. My question is, do I
need only purchase the UPGRADE (Office Professional Edition 2003) to get
Excel...or do I have to start at the beginning. Obviously, Upgrades are
cheaper than the setup package, thus my question.
Thanks

If it says WORKS is a qualified product for the upgrade
path, then the OFFICE Upgrade will install everything.
