Janos,
Unfortunately, MS Office is not loaded on this server; it is only used for Crystal Reports, so I do not have access to Excel to test the ODBC entry I have setup using the CR out-of-the-box Salesforce driver by Simba.
When you say I need authorization to download the Service Pack 05, I am using a trial version of CR 2013 - we are trying to evaluate it.
Who/how do I get authorization?
