Stop Word from Demanding the Installation CD
The Problem:
Word keeps demanding the installation CD so that it can install missing components.
The Solution:
By the time you find Word doing this, the horse has already bolted, and it's hard to close the stable door. If you're reading this Annoyance while mulling over whether to install all of Word (or Office) or just those parts of it that you immediately need, mull no longer: unless your computer is critically short of hard disk space, install all the components.
If the version of Word (or Office) you're installing gives you the choice, leave the installation cache on the computer rather than deleting it. That way, Word (or Office) will have the necessary files to either repair itself if components get corrupted or install additional features (if there are any you haven't installed).
