not sure if the license that allows you to use you work version at home, can reverse and allow your home version at work.

you do need to run the darn installer most of the time.
you could just try openoffice.org as an alternative to the Microsoft monopoly.

If you just copied the installation files off your hard drive...this won't work

You need to install it on the machine.

i have a copy of office 2000 and it works great. if you want you can borrow it or i can maybe get it copied again. might save you the trouble of long downloads and spending 100 bucks on it

If the license allows it, go for it.
Again, defer to the license for the product purchaced.
The terms can vary widely.

Microsoft Office is nice, but prohibitively expensive for just general home use. Why don't you guys check out Open Office, it's free and it does have the ability to open MSWORD files.
