Hi Arthur
Why don't you try inserting the disk and let the autorun start. From there you can choose a custom install and then choose to install Word only. I'm not sure why it would ask for the XP disk. I haven't had that problem before and I install Office and parts of Office on a regular basis.
As for FJB, Arthur wasn't using programme in place of setup, he meant he chose the program WORD which is the program he wants to install.
