Word??

[Lu]

I have windows XP the home edition, but for an online
class I am taking we need to have office XP, I was
wondering if the word program on Office XP & the home
edition of XP is the same or are they different? Please
someone help in order for me to know if I can submit my
work on my computer & be acceptable? Thanks.

Hi,

OfficeXP is an application suite, containing Word, Excel, Outlook, and =
possibly other programs. The default word processor in WindowsXP (which =
is an Operating System, not an application) is Wordpad. Check with the =
instructor to see what the acceptable document parameters are.

They are entirely different. Home edition of XP is an 'Operating System'.
It contain no word processing programs.

If it ends up you need something which is compatible with word, and you
want to use something a little more feature-rich than WordPad, you can
download a free office suite called OpenOffice from www.openoffice.org.

It's a big download (around 50MB) so if you have dialup, it would take
you awhile.

I use OpenOffice all the time, and I like it.
