Windows XP home edition and MS Word 2000

[Billmaycock]

Just purchased a new computer with Windows XP home
edition. There seems to be no word document software? I
can use the word processor function in XP but cannot
email the document to anyone.(they always say it does not
open into word correctly, even when I try to save it as a
word doc before sending). I still have my license for MS
Word 2000 from a previous computer, how can I download
that software on the new computer?

If you still have word 2000 then just install it on the new computer.
Windows(including xp) comes with notepad amd wordpad as its word processing
software. Word has never been part of windows.
Not sure what you're doing, first you say you have no word processing
software, then you say you use xp's(which one?), the you say you save it as
a word document, implying you have word installed. Please explain what
program your trying to use. If you save the file as a text file anyone can
read it.

Greetings --

Neither the Microsoft Office application suite, nor any of its
individual component applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access,
Outlook, etc.), have _ever_ been "part" of *any* Windows operating
system. They are, and always have been, separate applications, that
must be purchased and installed separately.

If the version of Word 2000 that came "from a previous computer"
is an OEM license that you received pre-installed on the old PC, you
may not transfer it to any other computer. (OEM licenses are not
transferable.) If it was a retail license that you had purchased and
installed yourself, then you may remove it from the old PC and then
install it on the new one.
