Suzanne,

According to Microsoft's Works 2006 Suite web page,
Works Suite 2006 includes Word 2002. It says nothing
about it being a crippled or limited edition of Word.

During my two-year tenure as a CompUSA salesman,
many potential first time PC buyers freaked upon learning
that MS Word would not be pre-loaded on their prospective
PCs. Then they really freaked when the saw the price of a full
retail copy of MS Word. I made many PC sales by promoting
the purchase of Works Suite as a low-cost alternative for
acquiring Word. No one ever came back and complained
that the Word component of Works Suite disqualified them
for upgrading to the latest version of Word.

Note that some versions of Word do not qualify for upgrades. In the past,
this has been true of the Student & Teacher edition. Whether it applies to
the version in Works Suite or not, I don't know.

a download for microsoft word 2002

You can't get any version of Word for free. You must
do as all the rest of us have done at some point in
our word processing career: you must buy the product.
After installing a legitimately-licensed version of Word,
you'll then qualify to purchase future Word upgrades at a
reasonable price.

The cheapest way to acquire Word 2002 is to buy the
latest Microsoft Works Suite package from a reputable
software retailer for about $99.99. The package includes
six solid software products, including MS Encarta
Encyclopedia and Word 2002. This is much cheaper
than buying a full retail version of Word 2003.

Beware of buying a Word product on eBay for about $40.
You'd likely be buying grief. Many such software offerings
on eBay are missing COAs (Certificate of Authenticity)
and legitimate product keys. They're generally used CDs
and the particular CD you buy likely has been activated
by someone else. If this is the case, you won't be able to
activate your cheap copy and it will expire after 30 days.
Buyer beware!
