Hi!

> I'm a complete ms word user who wants to convert to context 

Good decision!

> But can anybody out there please tell me how i can start from the very beginning.

1. Download Perl from http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/
2. Download some stable version of ConTeXt from (or any full TeX 
distribution)
3. Install ActivePerl (using its wizard)
4. Install ConTeXt following precise instructions specified in 
'minstall.pdf' (this short manual is probably in every ConTeXt 
distributions)

> To set it clear: i'm not a linux or unix-user, i use windowx xp.

Me to. Actually I use ONE ConTeXt distribution (one TeX in general 
distribution) under Linux and Windows. And many other NTG-members do so! 
There is NO obstacles to use ConTeXt under windows. The only obstacle is 
the very beginning of using TeX... Let me encourage You: ConTeXt allows 
to start TeXing smoothly.


Regards, Pawe/l
