Computer Question...

[olde_fashioned]

I have a question for the technologically astute among you. My computer came with Microsoft Works. Does that include Microsoft Word, or not? And if it doesn't, would I be able to open a Word attachment, and could another person with Word be able to view an attached Works file with their Word software? What exactly is the difference between Word and Works?

Microsoft Works is a software package, and so it is Microsoft Office. Microsoft Word is part of Office's package, so it has nothing to do with Works. You can download openoffice, wich is free, and you will be able to work with doc documents. It is almost the same as Office, just for free. :)

Thank you for replying! Sorry for the delay.

Is it available directly from Microsoft?
