Do you have WORD installed?

Windows XP is an operating system, not an application.

Windows XP has nothing to do with it. You need to use a program to open
Word docs.

Try the Wordpad program that comes with XP. (I'm pretty sure it will
open all Word doc files even without Word loaded on the computer).

If that doesn't work you need a program that has capablity to open Word
DOC files. That would be Word (buy from Microsoft), the Word Viewer
(free from Microsoft for viewing only), or a number of other programs
(Word Perfect, Open Office, etc.).

If you think that Windows XP includes Word, sorry to tell you
that you're mistaken. Neither it, nor any other version of
Windows, has ever included Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Access, or
any significant other application software. Such programs have to
be bought, either by themselves or as part of Microsoft Office.

If your previous computer, running an older version of Windows,
came with Word, it was because the vendor who sold it bundled
Word as part of the package he sold you, not because that version
of Windows came with Word.
