I need software - please help!

I bought a Tablet pc last year with Windows XP os - but I also want to use
Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook software on the computer. I don't know
which application package to buy - is there a specific Tablet pc version of
these applications or can I use a standard Windows Office suite?

Any program that will run on a Windows XP machine will run on a Tablet which
is basically Windows XP with the Tablet bits added. Having said that, for
an Office application, you would want Office 2003, for the additional ink
awareness that it has. Good luck.

The Office 2003 version is the best, but which flavor you want depends on
your needs. You can check out the choices here:

the OneNote program, which is part of the Office "family," is not part of
any Office suite and would be a separate purchase if you're interested.

Get Office 2003 or higher.

Is it just Windows XP, or Windows XP Tablet PC Edition? What is the
model of the Tablet?

Don't forget - if you've already got Office XP rather than 2003 you can
always get the Microsoft Office XP Pack for Tablet PC, see:
