Nope, and MS Office.

You can buy Word alone, too, or as part or Works.
As a part of Works, it is cheaper, but MAY not be quite as powerful.
As a stand-alone product, it costs less than the Office suite, but all you
get is Word.
By the way, XP comes with Notepad and Wordpad, which are "mini" versions of
Word. With Wordpad, any files you make in Wordpad before you install Word
will magically become Word documents after the installation, so you can do
neat things to them like you could to a "real" word document.

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.

Word is NOT part of Works. Works has its own processor, which - last time I
checked - had its own format (this may have changed.) Word IS also part of
Office.

Notepad is also NOT a "mini version of Word." Notepad is a plain text
editor. Yes, Word can also handle .txt documents, but it's like buying a
Ferrari to go to the corner store for milk. Notepad has no formatting - and
no formatting codes, which makes it ideal for things like hand-coding HTML
or editing .ini files.

Wordpad... eh, I've heard conflicting bits on this. I heard at one point
it's a "mini-Word," or based on an older version, but I don't see the
support for it. Wordpad was an outgrowth of Write, which was (and is) a
basic word processor with basic formatting, font support, etc. It's usually
all home users *really* need. It can save in .rtf (Rich Text) format to
preserve that formatting, and Word can also read these (and preserve the
formatting.)
