I currently have Windows XP and Microsoft Office 2003, but not Outlook. Is
there a way to set up these reminders without using Outlook, if so how? Or,
do I need Outlook and is it free do download it?

Outlook is part of Office, not typically free. What edition of Office 2003
are you using?

I'm not sure. It's for my computer at work and I'm not sure what to click on
to check which edition I have... Another woman I work with has the Outlook
icon on her screen and I do not. When I go to programs I do not see it
either, but maybe I have it if it comes with Windows XP Professional
automatically?

I was finally able to find Outlook. However, I'm very unfamiliar with it and
just want to use it for the calendaring notifications. Do I need to set up an
email address to use this option? Also, do I need to have Outlook open for
the notifications that I schedule to take place???

No, but you will need to create a mail profile (Control Panel's Mail
applet).

Yes.
