You will have to buy it from Microsoft, or from Dell - they do sell it. I recently bought a PC from Dell, along with the full MSOffice bundle (including PowerPoint.) But you can't get it for free - that's pirating software - and if it isn't a valid, registered copy, it won't be usable.
Good luck!

if you just got the computer within a few days, and you expected it to have these programs on there, then it's dell's fault. call the customer service and tell them you will return the computer because you thought it would have these on there. they will likely get the program to you (this might increase the price of your computer a bit, but WAY less than what it will cost if you gotta go buy the programs in the store).

First, buy the software. Once you get it home, remove the disk from it's packaging. Then turn on your computer. After it has finished booting up, and you have read the installation information on the package the software came in, follow those instructions. It really should be just that easy.

You can install free office suite, the OpenOffice, instead. Get it from www.openoffice.org .
You may need the help of good download manager like GetRight from www.getright.com to help you download or resume your download. Or, look for its local CD distributor in your neighborhood.

These are softwares that you purchase before you can install them. Any computer retailer should have them. Best Buy, Comp USA etc.......

You will have to purchase the programs and install them yourself.
