New Computer, where is Word?

Argh!

Can anyone please help?

I have a new computer and all is going well with it apart from I can't find Word or a similar word processing package. I have found something called Notepad and Word pad but I can't find spell check in them and when I put "spell" or "spellcheck" into the search it comes up with nothing?

Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

Thanks

are you sure word was installed when you brought it

It might be part of Microsoft Works which should be already on if its Windows XP. Have a look in your list of programs and you should see it

i got OpenOffice with my new computer

Apparently Word doesn't come with new computers any longer because my sister was going to get one and wanted one with Word on too. Mine has the Microsoft
works program on with a word processor.

I can't believe that all puters don't come with Word

What's adobe?

Do you mean Adobe Reader

I do Stewart, sorry for not being more specific.

It seems this computer has many many useful programs but not the basic one I need.

Although the main reason I bought the puter was to get a digi camera and learn how to post photos of Zeus and hopefully our new arrival later in the summer, but I still need it to do the basics

you need to install the nicrosoft office or works then you will have the microsoft word if the computer is new with the software it is usualy with it somewhere

or you need microsoft office, pamngeoff very kindly hooked me up with a copy, hehe

pm him.
