You need to buy Office. It doesn't come free on a computer - you pay for it.
You may also want to contact the school to find out if you can purchase an
academic license for it from the bookstore. That's generally a les expensive
option.

My daughter is in the market for a laptop for college. Everything is VERY
confusing. We mainly want one with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on it.
Does anyone know a decently-priced laptop that has these? The other stuff
is
fine, but I'm not worried about her being able to watch a movie. She needs
to
type papers and make presentations.
