I just purchase a new computer for use at home. It came with a trial
version of Office (Word, Excel, etc.) and when the time is up, I'll need to
purchase it. I didn't see any systems that came with Office in the bundle.

Hi, Goldie. Microsoft Word and/or Microsoft Office are separate programs
from Windows XP, and they do not automatically come with Windows XP. Did
you
pay extra for Word or Office? Is Word or Office actually installed on
your
computer? One way to check is to click on Start | Control Panel |
Add/Remove
Programs, and see if there is an entry in the list of installed programs
for
Microsoft Office XP, Microsoft Office 2003, Microsoft Word 2002, or
Microsoft
Word 2003.
