If it didn't come instaleld check your dell disks. There should be a blue one labled utilities and programs or the like. It should be o nthere somewhere. If not you need to call dell and see if it was included with your order. (It doesn't always come stock with every order).

microsoft word is not standard on most laptops. most colleges/schools offer it though at a very low price.

Laptop manufacturers do not have Word installed and therefore sell their laptops for less then if it came with it. It's called business. You can get Open Office as an alternative that's free and gets the job done well.
