You can buy MS Office at an office supply store, or a general store like
Best Buy or CompUSA. If it is too expensive, you can buy Star Office
for far less. Star Office is an excellent office suite which can read
and write MS Office formats. If that is *still* too expensive,
OpenOffice (www.openoffice.org) is a free version of Star Office that
is very feature-rich. I like OO a lot, particularly because it is
cross-platform and I can run it in Linux and Windows.

Cheers,

Malke

If you had a legal copy of Word when you were running Win 98, reinstall it.
It will work fine on XP.

There are several choices of good word processors for sale. You
can certainly buy a copy of Word; you can also buy WordPerfect,
which is my personal favorite. There are other choices too.

Greetings --

If you performed an in-place upgrade from an earlier edition of
Windows, and Word was already installed, it's still there. You'll
probably need to reinstall it, though, so it can add the necessary
functions it needs for use on a multi-user OS. If you performed a
clean installation (iow, wiped out the hard drive before installing
WinXP), Word was erased along with everything else. Simply re-install
it from the original CD.

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.
