I purchased a used Gateway Notebook computer on Ebay. The software is
registered in the name of "Jeffrey." to fill inthe rest of th blanks on the
installation, the program calls for entering a "25 character CD Key. It says
it can be found on the back of the CD jewel case. My Word CD's did not come
in any Jewel CD case. How do I register this software or access the program?

If the seller sold you the computer AND the Word software, then the
seller should give you the product key for the software. If the seller
just didn't get around to uninstalling Word before shipping the computer
to you, then you don't have a license to use the software, and you will
have to purchase your own copy if you want to use it.
