What happens
May 2, 2010 9:59PM PDT

if you go to http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/FX100487411033.aspx?pid=CL100571081033 ?

This is Microsoft's "Office Online" page where you can purchase Office online.

There I can see "Buy Office 2007 today", and a green "Buy now" button. Clicking that takes me to http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/FX101211561033.aspx and when I click the "Buy now" green button on that page, I am taken to yet another page where my option to buy is listed.

You cannot download Word without buying it, and I am not sure, but I doubt you can purchase Word without buying one of the Office products.

By the way, this is the Download.com forum, for CNET's Download.com matters. Your problem seems unrelated to Download.com.
