do I backup everything not just one document?

I need to backup everything in Word and Excel to put on another
computer, how do I backup everything not just one document?

For Word, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/FilesToBackup.htm.

For Excel, ask in an Excel newsgroup.

If you are talking about trying to "back up" the entire application to make
it work on a computer that does not have the applications installed, you can
not do that. You must install the application from the CDs. If you just
want to back up your templates and macros and such, that can be done - do a
search for .doc, .dot, .xls, .xlt, .xla files and back up the ones you want
to save.
