Are we talking specifically about MS Office, or Windows XP? Dell MUST
provide you with a method of reverting to factory gate settings.....

I suspect you had a TRIAL version of Office on your machine. You will have
to either buy a licence to use it, or install something like Open Office,
which, unless you need the very advanced features of MS Office, will do just
as well and is free.

As Gordon says Dell should have provided you with a means of reverting back
to factory settings. Contact Dell Support and request the necessary software.
 
if you bought this machine new from Dell, then Dell will have provided you
with a method of restoring your machine to factory settings. Look in your
User Manual on how to do this, or contact Dell.
