I assume you are referring to Windows XP, which does not come with any
version of Word or Office (nor does any other operating system). You can
download the free Word viewer from

Hi John,

If you're referring to MS Windows XP, it doesn't include MS Office products. Those are sold separately
(http://microsoft.com/office/howtobuy). You should, however be able to open MS Word documents using either MS Windows XP Wordpad
Start=>Programs=>Accessories
or by downloading the MS Word viewer (http://office.microsoft.com/downloads) or from installing the MS Office 2003 60 day trial
edition (http://microsoft.com/office/trial
