No, not legally, unless you have a site license.

You could get it illegally of course, or use open office which is free at http://www.openoffice.org

It takes a pro to attempt this! Don't try it yourself, it'll load both operating systems and then they will fight each other.\n\nMicrosoft is not programmed to back up to previous versions.  I've done it and it made a mess, I wound up buying a new computer after I tried to straighten out the program files myself!

You can go to the Microsoft Website and download a 30-day trial of MS Office.\nYou can go to ebay and purchase an older version of Office for not a lot of money (like MS Office 2000 or earlier).  Make sure it's an original CD.\nFind a friend that has a disk and doesn't use it.\nThese are the only legal ways I know of.

you can't, you need to install Microsoft Office 2000 (which includes full versions of all programs, including Publisher)

You cannot just copy the software from one computer to another, you need to install the software. When you install any software, there are many other files associated to the main .exe file to run. If those files are not found you get error messages.\n\nBut if you are getting the error message such as above "application not valid win32", that means, this particular application is actually not a valid executable file, for example try to do something like this:\n\nChoose a picture file like IMG0039.JPG and rename it to IMG0039.EXE, now double click to run this .exe file and you will get the error "application not valid win32".\n\n\nTry re-installing the application, sometimes you also get such error if the installed file is corrupted. Re-installing the application will should solve the problem and also check your computer for errors by following this:\n\nOn windows XP\n- Open My Computer, select the drive you want to check for errors, usually it is C:\n- Right click on C: then click on properties,\n- click on the tools tab and click on Check Now.

there's no way of doing that legally...but if u really want it for free, you can try some torrents or u can try n get some pirated versions( both ways are not recommended...especially for professional use). If you want to try some other free alternatives, try OpenOffice. It has almost all the features of MS Office and probably more.Moreover, its FREE.

On the same computer...as many times as you need.  You may have to recertify with Microsoft, which is a pain, but they'll let you keep using it on the same box.  \n\nOn several different computers...well, that's illegal isn't it?  If those computers are connected to the internet, they may communicate back to the 'mother ship' at Microsoft and disable your ability to install.  I don't know what the limit is, though.

I am running MS Office 2000 with Windows 98 SE. So you can run it on XP.\n\nRequest the Service Pack 2 in a hard copy from Microsoft. (its free) don't download it from the site. That way you can be sure you are getting the correct CD.

If you have the original installation CD, you can install it on your second computer.  If you don't have the original installation CD, there isn't a way to transfer the Word program to your laptop.

you cant. word is an application that runs on a specific machine. the only to share applications is to have an application server but you need to buy the licenses from microsoft to do it (commonly known as terminal services). \n\nif however you mean "how do i share microsoft word DOCUMENTS across a network?", easy, just copy them into the "my shared folders" and make sure the other pc's on the network have access (are in the same workgroup)\n\np.s. you cant just share the .exe file, it is a registered programme (which means it is written into the registry on the target machine)

Nope. Use OpenOffice instead, it's essentially the same, compatible with Microsoft Office...and it's free.\n\nhttp://www.openoffice.org

if it's created in a microsoft format, the PC microsoft program by the same name should recognize it\n\nFYI - MS Works and MS Office/Word are two different programs\n\nif they are incompatible program or one is an OLDER version of the program, you may need to go under "Save As" and change the format - which to use depends on what programs you are using and you may need to experiment.

No.  I assume you are running Windows XP, but set up a network with your two PCs.   \n\n1. Start at "Start"\n2. Go to "My Network Places"\n3. Choose "Set up a home or small office network"\n4. Use the wizard and select a name for the network (default MSHOME is fine but rather boring)\n5. Run the wizard on the second PC and use the same name for the network on both PC\n6. Reboot both PCs\n\n\nNow, is the printer a local printer to the primary PC?  If so, go to the control panel and view the printers.  Make sure the printer is shared.  Then install the printer on the second PC (easiest is to use the driver that came with the printer, but it may be a printer that comes native in Windows or you can download a driver.  But on the 2nd PC set it up as a network printer.\n\nGood luck!
