    Do you mean you lost your Recovery Disk (CD)? Have you just had to do a recovery?

    Dell computers quite often come with a Recovery "Partition" on the Hard Disk, so you don't need to use CDs (except to install drivers that are missing).

    Give us some more details about your computer (model, Operating System e.t.c. and we might be able to help (I have a dead Dell up in the loft but the disks down here!)

    If it's just that you've got a problem with using Word, don't worry, - use Open Office instead.
