Unzip the contents, which should be .ttf files, into any convenient folder.

Then go to C:\Windows\Fonts, click the File menu, and choose Install New
Font. In the dialog, select the .ttf files from wherever you put them, and
click OK.

Word and most other Windows programs let you use any fonts that are
installed in the Fonts folder.
