Monty,
Please don't post in capital letters - it is regarded as shouting.

Windows doesn't come with Microsoft Word. You have to buy that as a
separate program, or as part of Microsoft Office.

Word doesn't come with XP. It's a separate program, commonly bundled in an
MS Office suite. Some computer manufacturer's bundle it with the system.
If it's not on your computer then you'll need to purchase it.

Also please don't post in all CAPs. It's hard to read and considered
shouting.

Hi,

Click on Start - Run and type winword.exe then press enter. If MS Word
does not open then there's a good change it's not installed.

Neither the Microsoft Office application suite, nor any of its
individual component applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access,
Outlook, etc.), have _ever_ been "part" of *any* Windows operating
system. They are, and always have been, separate applications, that
must be purchased and installed separately.

1) Go to store/shop that sells computer software.

2) Purchase either Microsoft Word, a Microsoft Office suite (or the
Microsoft Works Suite) that contains it, or Corel's WordPerfect.

3) Return home.

4) Insert installation CD in PC's CD drive and follow the on-screen
prompts and instructions to install application and desired additional
features.

For the budget-minded (who also don't need all of Word's specific
features), there's the free, open source OpenOffice:

Also, please unstick your CapsLock key. Posting in all caps, as
you have done, is the Usenet equivalent of shouting, and is considered
very rude by a large number of people. More importantly, posting in all
caps makes the post harder to read, further reducing your chances of
getting help; a great many people won't even try to read such a message.
If you really want help, simply comply with the dictates of common
courtesy and the conventions of the milieu.
