word is a simple window where u can type and modify text with some nice features like adding photos, table, it is mainly for documents use.While Excel is a spreadsheet with tables , charts, mathematical equations and usually used by accountants or form generators.\nI prefer Excel at work.word is when I want to type a letter or prepare a manual or a project.

Word perfect and Microsoft Word are basically the same TYPE of program in that they are both basically a word processing program.  Word perfect has fewer bells and whistle than Microsoft Word and is setup to be used to create documents with primarily just words.  Microsoft Word is part of the office suite and integrates other types of files into it by allowing pictures, spreadsheets, and even animations to be added to it, so it comes down to what you can afford and what you need the program to do.

Of course. Office XP is Word, Excel, Powerpoint for Windows XP. Home XP is an operating system (like Windows 2000, Windows 98, along those lines). You can of course have both at the same time.

Word - is a word processing application - a windows program that enables you to create documents, books, manuals and such.  Think of Word as a typewriter on "steroids".  Competing applications to MS Word are: Corel Wordperfect, Sun OpenOffice and GPL OpenOffice\n\nPowerPoint - this is a presentation application.  A windows program that enables you to create slide show presentations.  Think of this program as a page by page presentation with video, audio, multi-media and fancy graphics.  Used to convey thoughts, ideas, projects and information in a slide-by-slide format.  the same office suites above offer a presentation application like PowerPoint.

I'd recommend you get hold of a good book on the same. If you wanna have in-depth info, then the internet is a great source for the same. Just google for keywords like "win95", "Word" or "Excel" and you'll find whatever you need... Here are a few results I got from google:\n\n1. www.windowsreinstall.com/indexwin95.htm\n2. www.refdesk.com/win95.html\n3. baycongroup.com/wlesson0.htm : Word Tutorial\n4. www.csun.edu/itr/guides/excel/2000/beg.html : Excel (Office 2k) Guide.\n5. digg.com/software/HUGE_Excel_Guide : Guide For Excel.\n\nPlus a lot more.... just google and you'll see the volumes of results that turn up.

Word Processors are the programs like text editors but with much more capabilities. Such as u can add images, font types and styles etc. MS Word, Star Word are few examples.

Open Office was developed to be completely compatible with Microsoft Office.  There are very few differences.\n\nBased on my experience with Microsoft Office, I have been able to use Open Office Writer and Calc without studying either.

You can't download Microsoft Word.  Microsoft Word is a software program copywritten to Microsoft and its for sale and not download.  If you find it for download anywhere thats illegal.  You need to go to the store and purchase it.  When you purchase it a registration key will come with it that you will need to install the program properly.\n\nIf you choose that you don't want to pay for it, consider www.openoffice.org, which has a really good word processor very similiar and compatible to Word.

I agree with rabidbeagle, MSoffice is the most common choice. Other office Suites (won´t name them) still have some compatibility issues with MSoffice, and since MSoffice is the most common choice, you´ll have compatibility issues with most people outside your organizations.

If you are using Windows, I would recomend Microsoft Word.

I am an enthusiastic user of open office.This has word processor, database, spreadsheet and much more. It is entirely free and can certainly be used for the purpose you have described. It is a large download, about 100 megabytes. It looks and feels very much like Microsoft Office, without the cost. It will also allow you to save as PDF if you want. It can be obtained from www.openoffice.org

Are you serious?  Asking a question like that is like asking if your apple contains corn flakes too.  Windows XP is an operating system.  MS Office is a suite of programs that includes Excel, Word, Access, Outlook and Power Point.

Excel and Word do have different 'object models' which means they do have items which may not be common to both programs. However, the Visual Basic for Application language (VBA) is common across both, and therefore some generic processes maybe easily shared. This means writing what you want may not be impossible. You would need to more specific in your question.\n\nSo the answer is yes, possibly and depends...Please add a little more detail to you question\n\nHope this helps.
