Just had XP installed...used to have ME. I always had "WORD" when using
ME but now, with ZP, I don't. I do have a program called "Wordpad". Is
that XP's replacement for "WORD"? I miss WORD as it had spellcheck and
grammar check which "Wordpad" doesn't have. Do I have to go back to the
computer store and actually buy the program called "WORD" and then install
it myself?

Thanks
