I'm sorry, but you gotta buy those applications.
and by 'buy' i mean 'pay a lot of money'.
you have 4 options.
1: search frantically for your original office instillation CD.
2: Buy a New copy of office.
3: Illegally download an Illegal copy of office using P2P software, or bit-torrent. (did I mention doing this is illegal?)
4: get a free, legal, open source alternative, like openoffice.org

The software that you want is part of the Microsoft Office Suite. It is not free. The complete package costs about $280 and the Basic package is about $150 or so. There is also a Student/Teacher version that runs about $130.

You cannot download office for free, you can purchase it and download via the web, but I recommend going on ebay and buying A GENUINE but OLDER copy as it does the same things as the new 2007/8 Versions, and is also simpler
I recommend 2003 Pro. It has them all on it.
Word, PowerPoint, Access, Publisher, InfoPath, FrontPage,
Outlook. (NOT outlook express but MS OFFICE OUTLOOK)
Hope this helps.

MS office does not come preloaded with Laptops.
So you must have bought it.
Use the same CD to reinstall it.
If it has come specially preloaded; there will be a registration number sticker in the underside of your laptop.
Using that you can request for a new installation from Microsoft.

try open office if your insistent on free and cannot find a copy.
