How do I download Word onto XP?

All versions of Windows come with WordPad, a rudimentary word processor. If
that doesn't fill your needs, you can get Word 2002 very reasonably as part
of Works Suite 2005, which also includes Works 8, Encarta 2005, Money 2005,
PictureIt! Premium 10, and Streets & Trips 2005. See

If your needs go beyond Word Pad, which is included with all Windows
versions, John pretty well covers it.

Among free offerings, You might want to look at AbiWord as well as
OpenOffice. Its appearance strongly resembles Word 6

At this time of year, you can often find MS Office Student and Teacher
Edition 2003 from a variety of sources available at some sort of discount
.. Also, Corel's Word Perfect is found in their Office Suite which is often
aggressively priced.

Of course, if you must have Microsoft Word, that rules out some of these
suggestions. However, don't rule out a look at Works. Recent versions
include Word as the word processor, if I am not mistaken. And the price is
often lower than for Word alone (if you can find it).
