Microsoft Office is completely separate to your operating system (Windows XP or Vista). If you've reformatted your hard drive, you'll have wiped all of the software from it. Reinstalling your operating system won't reinstall anything else. You need to install each program separately, including MS Office.
If your PC didn't come with MS Office on disk, you can't now reinstall it without paying for a new copy (which will cost you around �80).
The alternative is to download Open Office. It's at least as good as MS Office and it's (almost) fully compatible with it. i.e. if someone sends you a document created in MS Office, you'll be able to read it and modify it. Similarly, if you create a document in Open Office, you can send it to someone using MS Office without any problems.
The 'almost' in the previous paragraph is there to allow for the fact that a few, very complex documents (e.g. which use multiple advanced macros) might not be fully compatible between the two programs. However, you could probably use Open Office for many years without ever coming across such a document.

Half a mo!!!
If the lappy came with a full working copy of office you've payed good money for it ...
(open office is good (worth every penny!!)
but MS Office is MS Office) - and presumably you'll have paid �100 or more of the bundle price for the piveledge
you should either have been given a CD then - or be entitled to a CD now
If captain pugwash "found" a copy ;-).... try open office it is very good!!!
