Where Is Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook

Question

Hi, i got my new dell Computer Dimension C521 with Windows Vista and i can't find Excel, Powerpoint or Outlook anywhere.   Does Windows Vista not come with these programs? I have Work Spreadsheet, but would like to have Excel as well. I ordered my computer thru QVC and they sent me allot of Software and when i was going to install one of the softwares it said that i needed to install powerpoint and excel so i assume that i should have that somewhere , since they sent me software to install other things and to install these other things i need excel and powerpoint... i hope i make sense...lol. thanks

I thought that was standard, i always got it when i bought dell computers before.I might be dumb or something but isn't word in the microsoft office package? and i have microsoft word. i think i will call Dell to ask what i was suppose to have in my package because the software that i tried to install was Office Ready 4.0 but i can't install it now... i guess otherwise i have to buy the office package.

If you get any Office programs they are trial versions. You have to buy them.

Why oh why would Vista automatically come with Microsoft Office programs? If you want these programs you have to buy them.

Microsoft office programs are separate programs from Windows Vista. if you get it pre-installed, then, it's just a trial version.

You can purchase Office when you are ordering your PC however I believe even then they only ship you the CD's and you must install the product.  Some PC's come with a pre-installed trial version.
