computer question

our computer died a week ago.
we can't get a new one right this minute, so my fil lent us his laptop.

we've been using it for a few days now. i was just about to create a worksheet on excel and when i clicked on PROGRAMS... there was NOTHING!Chat Icon

no ms word
ms excel... so forth and so on

who does something like this happen? how do i fix it?
do i need to tell fil, so he can do it or can i do it?

i'm really perplexed!Chat Icon

You need to find out if they were ever installed...

Go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and look for Microsoft Office or similar. If it's not there it was never installed or is no longer installed. If it is there, then maybe you are just missing the shortcuts, in which case in you can find them in program files, or do search for excel.exe.

office is a seperate software program.
It does not automatically come with new computers. He/she probally didn't order the computer with it.

You can use staroffice for free via google if you like...
