word for my computer windows XP Home Edition.

Why should you "download" Microsoft Word when the rest of us have done the
correct thing and paid for it?

You are aware that MS Word is not free, are you not?

In closing, I am assuming that you are not so stupid as to post a request in
a Microsoft sponsored newsgroup for a pirated version of a MS product. At
least I hope you have more sense than that.

You can download a trial version of Office Standard Edition 2003 (includes
Word) here: http://www.microsoft.com/office/trial/default.mspx It will cost
when the trial time expires.

You buy it at a store or on-line and they send you the CDs.

My wife started taking an online class and the college suggested this free
alternative.

Microsoft Word is not available to download.

1) Go to store/shop that sells computer software.

2) Purchase either Microsoft Access and Word or a Microsoft Office
suite that
contains them.

3) Return home.

4) Insert installation CD in PC's CD drive and follow the on-screen
prompts and instructions to install application and desired additional
features.

Cheapest way to get MS Office applications (like Word, Excel etc) is usually
by purchasing an OEM bundle.

Something like "MS Office Small Business Edition OEM" if thats still
available.

OEM means you won't get MS support but problems are rare (compared to
problems with the OS) and there are Office Newsgroups to help.

FYI, starting with Office 2003, Microsoft has made the Small
Business Edition available as a retail product, as well as an OEM
product. Currently, the only edition that's available solely as an
OEM product is Office Basic Edition.

What about it? The process is normally automatic and simple.

You can't. Word is commercial software available for sale. If
you want to steal it, you've come to the wrong place.

Sorry Ken that was the wrong link.
The right link is in one of my other post.
It's not a download though, they ship a trial version.

That is a trial version of MSServer 2003, not MS Word, which is what the
poster asked for. Unless the user has an MSDN subscription, MS Word is not
downloadable (legally at least) in any fashion.

You might consider downloading a copy of Open Office - it does lots of the
things that Word does, including reading Word files, and it is free.

David - who is one of those people that actually likes MS Word, and has used
it for all his writing for the past 10 years - but can no longer afford to buy
the latest versions

Two points:

1. Although a trial version is available, his message indicated
to me that he wasn't looking to download a trial version, but
wanted to download a copy he could keep and continue to use for
free--a pirate version.

2. That was my interpretation of his question. It may or may not
be right, and perhaps a trial version, which as you point out is
available, is all he wanted. But even if I'm wrong, your childish
rudeness is out of place and not appreciated.

Try open office, it will do most any thing MS Office can do and it doesn't
cost a penny. search for the open office suite on www.google.com.
(sorry Mr. Gates, but this poor bum doesn't have enough money to worry you
any.)

You cannot transfer a program. You need the original

That *is* an old version. ;-)

Sorry, but you're out of luck. You can't transfer programs like
this. If you can't find the installation CD, you'll need to buy
another copy.

Yes. The Romans used it about the time of their completion of the Gask Ridge

You must have the installation CD, there's no other way to "transfer"
an Office application from one computer to another.

If it was a retail license and you have proof of purchase:

How to Replace Lost, Broken, or Missing Microsoft Software or Hardware
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;326246

If it was an OEM license, you cannot legitimately transfer it to a
new computer, anyway, so you'll have to purchase another license.

Hi,

Download or install? Downloading infers that you are accessing a file from
another source on the 'net and copying it to your machine. Installing is
what you do when you insert a product CD and run the setup routine. As Word
is not something you should be able to download, I will assume your are
having trouble installing it. See if this helps:

Word is commercial software, and it's for sale. You can't legally
download a copy anywhere.

Do you perhaps mean "install," not "download"? If so please help
us to help you. What does "I can't" mean? What happens when you
try? If you get an error message, please quote it verbatim
