Without the disk, you can't install Word.
If you bought a retail copy of Word (standalone or as part of Office or
Works Suite), you can get a new disk. Instructions for requesting a
replacement disk are at
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=326246. You'll
need proof of purchase.
If the program was pre-loaded on the computer when you bought the machine,
that's known as an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) copy. In that case,
the license probably says that you aren't allowed to load the software on a
different computer. You'll have to contact the vendor who sold you the
original computer. The same KB article tells you how to find out what you
have.
