You'll need to purchase and install the "full version" of
Microsoft Office XP which includes Word and Excel.

Windows XP is an operating system....it does not include
an office productivity application such as Office XP.

Either that, or get OpenOffice (www.openoffice.org) which can read and
write Office files, but it is a completely free office suite.
