Brian - what exactly do you mean by 'deleted Word'? What did you actually do? It just might not be as bad as you fear...
We need to correct a mis-understanding for exeng and many others, that system restore will replace things like Word. It ONLY backs up the registry and some other SYSTEM files, not progammes, music, letters emails etc etc.
The ONLY way to 'restore' these is from a proper back up, and in the case of a 'deleted' WORD prog, a re-install. Of course, a 'cloned' disk like Ghost or Acronis will do the trick.
