[hazel]

hi, i have just brought my first home pc (what took me
sos long!) after years of using office and now xp i didnt
really wanna learn anything alse at home. i understood
that xphome featured word and excel but i can only find
wordpad. am i crazy or am i wrong? how can i sort this
out? thankyou

Excel and Word are part of Microsoft Office. Perhaps you
were confusing XP Home with Office XP which is the latest
office suite.

I'm afraid you'll only have the basics, ie wordpad, unless
you fork out more cash to get Office. A lot of people
just use Office 2000 which will run perfectly well on
Windows XP.

Windows XP (or any version of windows) has never included word and excel.
They are separate programs and must be purchased separatly. Some oems may
bundle word and/or excel with the computer as a bonus, but they are not, and
never were, part of windows.

Sorry to tell you that you're wrong. Neither Windows XP Home,
Windows XP Professional, nor any other version of Windows has
ever come with Word, Excel, nor with any other significant
application software.
If you want these applications, you need to buy them, either
alone, or as part of Microsoft Office.

Greetings --

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.

Wrong I am afraid. Windows has never included these programs. They are
part of the MS Office application suite (or have been sold separately).
Makers of machine often bundled Office in with the package, but this is
now rather rare as competition has grown and Office become fairly
expensive
