I have Microsoft Works suite 2005 and it came with Microsoft word 2002 but when I try to install just word it won't work this is what comes up when I install it and try to use it



The works task launcher cannot access the task you selected. Files needed to start program may be missing, corrupted, or may have been deleted. To restore or replace the files, reinstall the program, and then try starting the program again.


Is there something missing?? Do I need something else than word??

Please I need help!!

Works is an integrated suite. I don't believe you can install parts of it like you can with Office.

I don't understand what do you mean by "Works is an integrated suite"??


I'm sorry but I'm new to all this!

Thanks for all your help!

It means that Works is really one program, unlike Office.

Windows. What is that??

Open Office is a competing product to Microsoft Office. Its compatible with MS Office's file formats but its not Office or Word.
