I have just set up my home computers for networking. I am able to share
internet, printers and various files and folders but am unable to share my
'programs' folder. Is it possible to share microsoft office - word
particularly?
Any help greatly appreciated. Has taken an age to get this far and this
hopefully is the final problem.
Thanks

It would do no good to share the Programs folder on a computer since one
computer (set up with a home network like you have) can not share the
application programs installed on the 1st computer to a second computer
(with a few exceptions and Office isn't one of them.) There is a way but
not with an OEM or retail version of Office, you would need an application
server system and the proper version of Office to do what you want.

Depending on the version of Office you have, you may be able to install it
on the second system. You need to view the EULA to see if this is "legal."
