How to install MS Word with out macro language capabilities ...

..., but as I understand things. VBA for Word and Access (the objects
relating to the Documents not the ones relating to the database tables,
queries, etc ...) are not exactly the same.

VBA is exactly the same. The subject object models are different of course;
but there's only one VBA.

.
OK let me ask another question them, can you make Word only process
and save RTF files?

No. Using VBA(!) you can constrain some operations (such as intercepting the
Open and Save commands, to force the file types); but users can bypass those
sorts of restrictions very easily. And if you try to tell Word users that
they can't open or save Word documents ... all you'll do is acquire a
reputation as the quintessential IT moron who doesn't visit the real world.

As Howard says, train the buggers. Or just ask nicely.

http://www.openoffice.org <-- problem solved!
Well, not exactly. I tried and liked the openoffice suite, but
something as simple as taking a web page section and pasting it onto a
document and then open it using MS Word some other place would create
lots of problems with page numbers, embeded links and many other
etceteras.

One could write macros to not allow anything but RTF to be used.
But what's the point?

Electric shock might work?
