Microsoft Word

When I purchased my PC in came with Works and I couldn't receive a lot of
emails from Word so I purchased a Word CD and downloaded it.
I now just bought a lap top which also didn't come with Word and my
questiond a
Am I allowed to use the Word CD I registered to download it into my lap and
if so, It seems that I can't find the CD but I have my certification number,
can I download it from the web or do I have to buy another Word CD?
Thanks for your help (in advance),

You may install Word on your laptop once you
obtain a new Word installation CD from Microsoft.

You could always purchase the retail boxed version of Word from a shop.
Then you can run it whereever you like, as long as it is only installed on
one computer, or as per the EULA. (it may even allow for installation on a
laptop and desktop as long as both are not in use simultaneously).

You can download a "word viewer" free of charge that will enable you to open
e/mail attachments to read them only.
