You can buy Office at any office supply store (Office Depot, Office Max, Staples) or computer store (Best Buy, Micro Center, Frys) or some department stores (Walmart, Target). Alternative you could download the free LibreOffice which has close to a plug compatible suite from http://www.libreoffice.org .

By the way, XP will become totally unsupported come April, so it's time to make plans to go to Windows 7 or 8. You're just going to find more and more problems with XP.

Good luck.
I know typical over asked question on the forums, but I really need help and have to get this going. I am trying to download word and excel to improve my skills. Bt you know everywhere I turn, there's no way to download it. I have a Windows XP software so I can't download t new improve, version of Windows365. Then, everyplace I've rrelied on getting it from CNET and centre.org, have not got it either. I am trying to write letters and mailings in word and what if and conditional formatting in excel. Is there anyway I can at least get these two programs.
