MS Word 6 and up are all compatible with XP. If you purchase "Microsoft
Works Suite 2003" (not an earlier version) it will come with MS Word 2002
http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/Homepages/SuiteProduct.asp . This is
generally the most inexpensive way to purchase MS Word as the prices can
vary from $60 - $110 USD.

As you can see here purchasing MS Word as a stand alone product is quite
expensive http://www.microsoft.com/office/word/howtobuy/default.asp
and to purchase it as part of the Microsoft Office Suite will cost much,
much more.

If you are not married to MS Word a very nice alternative, which is free, is
the Open Office suite. This is a large download so you need a fast
connection. Open Office can open, save and manage Microsoft files with ease.
Just set the Preferences to Open and Save in the MS format

All versions of Microsoft Word starting with Word 95 are
compatible. The cost varies, depending on the version, but the
older ones should be very inexpensive, if you can find a used
copy--perhaps on eBay.
