If you are talking about MS Word, which is included in the MS Office Suite, and later
versions of the MS Works Suite, neither suite is part of the Windows XP operating system.
If you reinstalled Windows XP, you will have to reinstall either MS Office or the MS Works
Suite from their CDs. If you are just looking to use a word processor, and not
necessarily MS Word, you can click Start button/All Programs/Accessories/WordPad (WordPad
does not have as many features as MS Word).

That's because Microsoft Office is a separate program and is not
included in the operating system (XP). You would need to reinstall Word
from cd's. If you don't have the cd's, you can buy Word and/or Office
at the store but it is quite expensive. A very good free alternative is
OpenOffice, which you can get from www.openoffice.org.

Microsoft Word isn't part of the Windows XP operating system. To get
it, install one of these Microsoft applications: Office or Works
Suite.

If you previously had Word, you should have a CD that you can use to
re-install the application.

If you have to buy a product, Works Suite is much cheaper than Office.
