You can download a trial version of Office 2003, which includes Word 2003,
from http://www.microsoft.com/office/trial/default.mspx . You cannot
download a full version of Word or Office from anywhere, at least not
legally.

Alternatively, you can save your Works word processing files in Rich Text
Format (.rtf) files. All versions of Word can open .rtf files. Word can
also open native Works .wps files when the proper converters are installed,
but since this is a school computer, you probably aren't allowed to install
anything.

You can download a free Word viewer program he
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=EN
It will let you read and print Word documents, you just won't be able
to change them.

If you need the ability to edit too, try OpenOffice at
http://www.openoffice.org/. It's free, and it can open and save Word
documents.

Recent versions of Works - certainly from version 7 - will open and save
documents in Word format. There will be some formatting changes but it would
enable you to work with the documents. You may qualify for an educational
discount on Word or Works suite including Word (which will probably be
cheaper).

Like Garfield said, you can save the document in .rtf format which
should be adequate for most school reports prior to post-secondary. You
may also wish to consider the Student and Teacher's Edition of MS
Office, which is significantly less expensive than the regular package.
Excel and PowerPoint will almost certainly come in handy for high school
courses, especially science courses.
