You don't say which version of Word... However, try this:

Click the Start button, then Settings - Control Panel - Add or Remove
Programs - click on MS Office - Change button. Where you go from here
depends on which version of Office you have. It's pretty intuitive, however,
and you probably can work through it from this point.
