Totally separate companies from the hardware makers. Just because you paid HP, or ACER or Lenovo or some other computer builder for the hardware, why do you think that "all" software like Windows and Office should be "free". Hardware and software are two totally separate things. That still applies to Office 365, there is a time limited "free" trial. Many / most Windows computers have come with "Free trials" of Office, but they are always time limited. Some companies use to give uses a "free" copy of MS Works, that included Word, but they had to buy it and the price was bundled with the computer. Sorry, Full Office licenses have never "come free" with ANY copy of Windows on new computers. You are just trying to milk people for every dollar you can get when times are tough anyway. So the installed software should come ready to use. WHY? People spend large amounts of money for hardware All other previous OS's were user friendly but 365 is not because you charge for it. You just started charging for it on Windows 8. If you have those 2 things just perform a normal install process. the generic installation file/disk for the right Office bundle.If it really is uninstalled, then you need 2 things to re-install: Type "WinWord.EXE" to see if Word is still installed. Use the shortcut combo to open the Run window. What you expected to see and what you actually saw, including the FULL and Exact Error message text, the better, more specific replies we can provide.Īre you sure they "uninstalled" it, or maybe they only deleted the tile/shortcut?
