word

My wife has just informed me that ME does not have Word, I
never use it so would not know. How can I put this on
without having to change systems. I'm not very educated
with computers, so please walk me if you have time.

Thank You,
John

No operating system comes with Word. That's a separate product.

Word is an application that can be bought either "stand-alone" or as
part of either Microsoft Office or Microsoft Works Suite (but not Microsoft
Works). It does not form part of Win Me or any other Microsoft operating
system.

If however all you want to do is to be able to read, but not write or edit,
documents created in Word you might want to consider downloading and
installing the free Microsoft Word viewer
(http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/wd97vwr32.aspx).

If you need something like Word but don't want to pay for it, you may
want to consider installing OPENOFFICE, a free office suite that has
been highly recommended by some in these Newsgroups. If interested,
visit the following;

Hope this helps
