I guess I am using a trial version of Windows Vista which does Not contain Microsoft Word....I was told to download Open Office , which would allow me to add a free version of Microsoft Word....when I tried to download Open Office an NISIS Error stating that the installer is Corrupt or incomplete ?....How do I resolve this issue sothat I can add Microsoft Word ....Your help would be Appreciated ....Thank You ,

You download is most likely corrupt. Download from the OOo official site http://download.openoffice.org/2.3.1/index.html . OpenOffice does not contain Word. Its word processor is Writer and is compatible with older versions of Word. Word 2007 formats are not yet supported but will be in the future. Go here to read more about OOo. http://www.openoffice.org/index.html
See this thread for more info http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic ... nsis+error and this one http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Why_do_I_get_NSIS_Error .

The full version of Vista doesn't have Word either, or at best a trial version.
