was a part of windows but am unable to locate it. Is it not a part of the
windows preinstalled software ...HELP!
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.
Microsoft Office comes pre-installed on new computers only when the
computer manufacturer chooses to offer it, and the purchaser is willing
to pay extra for it.
You'll either need to go to a store that sells computer software,
or purchase it from a reputable on-line vendor, such as Newegg, CDW, or
Amazon. Don't try to buy it on eBay; the chances of getting ripped off
there are significant.
