Microsoft Word isn't free to download even though it comes free on some computers. It's $299. The best thing you've got is OpenOffice. The 2.0 beta has a wizard but I'm not sure what's in and whether it's the same thing in the autopliot feature which doesn't have a resum option. That's it. :(

Office Depot or Office Max is a good place to get it. If you get Microsoft Office Suite it comes with MS Works and MS Word.
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

Well, I'm not sure of this, (I'm usually not XD) but doesn't Windows XP come with Wordpad? Because if it does, it very easy to format the same way as Word, its just a little less convenient. =P
Well, yes. WinXP does have wordpad. But It's notwhere near as good as Word.
Bill Gates is a businessman, and a smart one at that. If he gave away everything that's there in Word and put all that in Wordpad, MSOffice will go broke.

You can get Word in any version of Office, and the versions range in price depending on what you want to have in them. Personally, I find that Wordpad works just fine. Next time you buy a computer, ask if you can have an OEM version of Office included - for now, if you don't want to pay, OpenOffice.org is very good.


"One reason why mathematics enjoys special esteem, above all other sciences, is that its laws are absolutely certain and indisputable, while those of other sciences are to some extent debatable and in constant danger of being overthrown by newly discovered facts."
Albert Einstein

"What science can there be more noble, more excellent, more useful for men, more admirably high and demonstrative than mathematics."
Benjamin Franklin

"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty – a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of paintings or music, yet sublimely pure and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show."
Bertrand Russell
