Upgrading to XP Pro won't do anything for you. Windows XP (either home or pro) is an *operating system* - a core platform that does all the system level stuff like managing disks and monitors and mice and printers that makes the computer compute. Programs like Word are *applications* - programs that run on top of the operating system and do the useful things you like the computer to do for you, like writing letters or making videos or playing games. It's unfortunate that MS chose to use the marketing term "XP" for both Windows XP, the operating system, and Office XP, the suite of applications that includes Word, Excel etc, because the similar name confused a lot of people into thinking that one was part of or required the other. They really are competely different classes of software, totally separate, and you can happily run Office XP on a Windows 2000 system or Office 97 on a Windows XP system for example without much difficulty.
If you want to use MS Word without paying the cost of upgrading to the full Office 2003 package. take a look at MS Works. It's a simplified set of applications for the home user and it includes MS Word, the same one as with the full Office suite, as its word processiing component.

Blake, First of all, this is a newsgroup devoted to MS Project. It sounds like your question would be better placed in a newsgroup dedicated to MS Office or MS Word. However in an attempt to give you some type of answer, it depends on what software may have been bundled with your computer when you bought it. Windows XP Home itself does not include a word processing application per se. The closest apps for writing very basic stuff (letters perhaps) are NotePad and WordPad. However these basic apps are very limited especially for making signs.
