Hi

Those programs are not included with Windows XP and have to be purchased
separately:

Greetings --

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

2) Purchase the Microsoft Office suite of your choice.

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.

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.

They are not missing; they were never there.

If you think that Windows XP includes Word, Excel, and
PowerPoint, 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 these, it was because the vendor who sold it bundled
Office as part of the package he sold you, not because that
version of Windows came with Office.

If you want these, you need to go out and buy a copy of Microsoft
Office.
