Word/network server

Bill, I'd like to get a some background information before approaching your question. Please don't take my questions as being snide, but I'd rather not write a book if I can help you with a couple words.

With what little you have given us, your question can be interpreted as anything from "I've tried to load Word and it keeps giving me error messages," to "I've never loaded a program in my life. How do I do it?"

If your question is really the former, please let us know what specific problems you are having.

If your question is the latter, I'm sorry but you really shouldn't be learning basic software installation on the network server.

FYI, Word doesn't install any differently on Win2K Server than it does on any other OS.

Please let us know specifically how we can help.

Easy answer:
Just install the program as you it in any other computer in the network.

Useful answer:
Don?t do it.
If you want to install word in the server for a user to sit in this machine and operate it like another workstation you must be aware that it may affect the server performance and put some extra risk in the server normal operation.
If you want to install word in the server to be used from workstations, like some kind of centralized application, you must be aware that this could affect seriously the server and network performance. The best solution I think it is install word in every workstation in the network (you still can map a shared folder to store public documents).
