How do I install MS Word onto my computer?

You should check the replies to your previous post kt5824
copied from previous thread.
Or alternatively, you have had office installed at some point on a previous
computer, you could always check that computer for software. if you have the
CD's check the version of office isn't OEM (although not likely) then you
should be able to move it from one machine to another (i.e. from previous XP
computer to spanking new Vista machine). That would be just as inexpensive
you will need to remove it from the other machine. Check in with your
local Microsoft contact centre if you have any questions.
If not then Doris's suggestion would work.
Or another option would be to get Microsoft Works Suite, which comes with
Microsoft Word. However, if you use Excel or any other Office product then
you might want to get a full "Office Suite".
Hope this helps.

Pay several hundred dollars for MS Office. Or, download and install for
free OpenOffice.org which has the same capability (more or less) and will
read and write all the MS and WP proprietary formats as well as standard
ones.

You don't have to pay several hundred dollars for Office if you only want
Word. The best deal going as far as MS Office is the 2007 Home and Student
edition for about $150; it has Word, Excel, Powerpoint and One Note.
I don't know what MS Works with Word costs, but that might be an alternative,
if you don't have your original Word or Office disks.

(more or less)is the operative term for comparing open orifice to MSray said:
Word & Corel's Wordperfect.
Adequate in some instances is correct but don't expect to receive .doc
or .wp files from clients and keep all of the original formating.
Won't happen. All you'll really do is spend double time trying to get
the formatting correct. If you're in business to make money (duh!) it's
not worth the hassle.

I've not seen any problem since OO v 2.

1) Go to store/shop that sells computer software.
2) Purchase either Microsoft Word or a Microsoft Office suite (or the
Microsoft Works Suite) that contains it.
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.
For the budget-minded (who also don't need all of Word's specific
features), there's the free, open source OpenOffice:

I believe that is pretty much what the OP indicated (s)he'd be doing. I do
a decent variety - also several spreadsheets and some presentations.
