Go to Office Depot and buy "Word Processing\nfor Dummies".  Easy answer.

I suggest you take it to a shop.\n\nOpening things OTHER than a standard PC can be very difficult to those without proper tools and knowledge.  It will also void any warranty.

it should be in the packaging where you got Microsoft Office.  Otherwise, contact Microsoft

Did they provide you with a full or trial copy? And even if it came pre-installed, they should have provided you with a serial (I don't know if there is a true OEM version which does not require a serial to be entered).

you can try finding the instructions on thier web site, but I would think that if you had a legal copy, you would have the instructions.

I'm assuming all you have is the typed sheet, and not a electronic copy.  Is there a Kinko's near you?  Go see them and explain what you need.  Even if they can't do it, they will give you good advice.

I'm not sure what could you do about it. But you could try getting Microsoft Office {need to purchase} or OpenOffice {free}. They are currently popular and powerful word processors.

you need to buy the office suite.  It is very expensive, you can also try openOffice, which is not as good as word.  No spelling check and missing many other other functionalities, but free.

I would call Dell. the customer service can take you through the process step by step.

Are you talking about the serial number so that you can use the program?\n\nIf so, you can find it here:\nhttp://computer-tricks.blogspot.com/2006/05/microsoft-word-2002-office-2002.html\n\n\nIf you use a serial number that you found on the web, never register!!!

Works Great!!!\n\nThere are numerous sites that explain how they work but can get complicated if you do not understand the "Geek" terms.\n\nWell a printer is sort of a different animal of its own.  All hardware, peripherals, etc. all require "Drivers" which is software that controls the device for which it is intended, more or less the "Boss"\n\nLets say you were building furniture that will need boxed up and assembled by the purchaser.  When you are finished building your project you "Print" it or send the project to your "Boss" for verification.\n\nThe boss recieves this and all the pieces are separated into equal packets along with a set of instructions that contains step by step how to build the product (all info sent will be margins, colors, sizes, etc) to make it easy for the purchaser (Printer in this case) to locate the parts.\n\nThese packets are then sent to the purchaser in the order they need to be assembled to yield the correct item.   The purchaser (printer) looks at these instructions in each packet and follows them.  Its print head will be like you looking at the directions and saying I need to put this screw in first before I put this part on.  So in other words the print head is like a set of hands completing the final output.\n\nHope this helps a bit without being soo technical.
