Greetings --

    Have you purchased and installed a word processing application?
WinXP is an operating system, so it only includes the rudimentary text
editors, NotePad and WordPad, both of which can be found under Start >
All Programs > Accessories.

    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.
