Not without spending some big bucks. You should NEVER clear that bin out
unless you are POSITIVE about whether or not you need a file.

You can't download Office 2000 anywhere. At least not legally. (And even if
I knew of an illegal site, which I don't, I wouldn't admit it.)

What the first person said was she deleted some Word documents. What YOU
said was that you deleted Office. That's a completely different situation.
PussyCat9 has a slim chance to retrieve her files, you, unfortunately don't.
Your only option is to buy the full version of Office 2003. (You can't get
the upgrade because you'd need the disks for the qualifying product.)

Are you even sure that you deleted office and not merely the shortcut to it?
Try a file search for winword.exe and if it runs create a new shortcut to
it.
If all else fails you can get legal remaindered copies of Word 2000 from eg
eBay for not a lot of money.
