How did you get WORD the first time?
The least expensive way to get WORD is to buy MS WORKS SUITE
which includes the full version of WORD.
You may qualify to buy OFFICE Student/Teacher version.

And what's this magical code, pray, that's going to make Word appear on your
system without it being installed?!

All replies you got invite you to buy Word. I am assuming you bought it
at some point in time and that the "old" HD comes from the machine you
are upgrading. Then, I suggest a different approach, may be too obvious...

Reinstall the "old" drive in your machine and install the new one as a
slave of the old one (this depends on the configuration of your machine,
the main thing is that the old drive be the bootable one and that the
other, new, be accessible.

Using Partition Magic (or some other equivalent tool), remove anything
that might be on the new drive, and copy all partitions of the "old"
drive exactly as they appear on it, to the new drive.

Remove the old drive, reset the new one as primary drive, and reboot. If
you used Win98 to boot, you may have to first use a boot diskette to
make the new drive bootable by the command sys c: (my memory of Win98 is
fading fast, so don't take this for gospel). But with XP or 2K, the only
problem might be (not sure) editing the boot.ini file for the correct
partition number.

All software of your previous drive should work as before.

Of course, if the "old" drive has a different origin than the one I
assume, this approach is not the one you expect. But then, the other
replies apply...

Wrong. Partition Magic won't copy partitions from drive to drive,
with all data intact. You are thinking of Drive Copy, or maybe even
Drive Image.

Sorry mate, I have been using Partition Magic for years and I exactly
know what I do with it. Partition Magic copies partitions from drive to
drive, all data intact of course (what would be the point otherwise).
Some programs call it an image, well, Partition Magic just calls it a
copied partition. Check again and prove me wrong...
