Have you reinstalled Microsoft Office? Word, Excel and PPT are all
components of Microsoft Office and not part of Windows XP, which is the
computer operating system.

If you used an standard CD to rebuilding your system, word, excel, PPT or
any other Office program or application, is sold in a separate CD and not
included in your copy of windows XP.

Go buy them. The Tooth Fairy won't be bringing you MS Office.

Did you install them? Assuming that you didn't, that's why you can't
find them. If you thought that they were part of Windows, let me
explain that they are not; they are application programs that can be
bought by themselves or as part of Microsoft Office.

By "rebuilding," do you mean that you performed a clean installation of
the OS? If so, you'll newed to re-install any other applications from
their respective original media.
Neither the Microsoft Office application suite, nor any of its
individual component applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access,
Outlook, etc.), have _ever_ been "part" of *any* Windows operating
system. They are, and always have been, separate applications, that
must be purchased and installed separately. Microsoft Office comes
pre-installed on new computers only when the computer manufacturer
chooses to offer it, and the purchaser is willing to pay extra for it.

Did you install them, as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft
Powerpoint, Microsoft Windows XP, etc are all seperate products... The
Office products (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, Publisher, Access, etc)
can be bought as a 'suite' - but the Windows XP operating system (all
Windows operating systems that I know of) are sold seperately.
If you ever had a computer with the OS and the applications listed above on
it - someone bought/installed them on there together - it was not a single
install.
Here is free alternative to the overly priced MS Office bloatware that
everyone else seems to think you should install http://download.openoffice.org/index.html
After you install OpenOffice simply go to the preferences and set the
applications to Save and Open MS Documents. To get a spellchecker for
Outlook Express this too is free http://www.geocities.com/vampirefo/ and
works as well as any MS Word dictionary will work with Outlook Express.

I just went back to reread all of the other responses to his message,
including my own. Neither I, nor any of the others who replied,
suggested that he *should* do anything of the kind. What we all did
was explain that the Word, Excel, and PowerPoint do *not* come with
Windows, and that *if* he wants then, he needs to install them
separately.
My personal preference, although I didn't mention it in my earlier
response, because it had nothing to do with his question, happens to
be for WordPerfect.

Isn't that an alternative for Word whereas Office contains many other
components exactly which depending on the version of Office you buy. Can
you buy Word Perfect as part of a package?
