How can I backup Microsoft word after losing its CD?
Q. I need to restore my computer but I don’t know how to backup programs like Microsoft word 2002. Unfortunately I lost the installation cd so I can not retrieve it. And as you all know Microsoft word is pretty expensive. Is there a way I can backup up onto a cd or something like backing up files?

Oh really, so you lost the CD eeyyyyyy
Your Setup key will still work. Try to borrow a Word disc.
OpenOfficeorg is a free alternative.
If you’re a student, Office is less than $60 US

You can download genuine, not pirated Microsoft Office 2010 beta for free. You can enjoy using the beta until October 2010. Microsoft Office 2010 goes on sale in June:

Free on-line versions of Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint are available from the same link. Click the Try Office Web Apps link for instructions. There’s nothing to install. You use the free Skydrive versions of Microsoft Office from any computer – Mac, PC, or even LINUX – in your FireFox, Safari or IE web browser. These free Word, Excel, and PowerPoint versions don’t expire. You can print and save your files to your computer even though you’re using your web browser.
The URL below has links to many free products that compete against Microsoft Office, including open source OxygenOffice and NeoOffice (both of these are better than OpenOffice), Google docs, AppleWorks and others. Be real. Compatibility of the alternatives with Microsoft Office can be pretty bad if you do more than just simple stuff. None of the alternatives offer VBA add-in support, for example.

You could backup your system so that all the system files are backed up. Read up about it at http://www.harddrivebackupsite.com/Pages/WhichFilesToBackup.aspx. On that page there is a link to Acronis Image Backup which I belive does that sort of thing.
Before you restore your computer, you should uninstall Microsoft Office from your programs, then once the restore is complete you can download Microsoft Office onto your computer again.
1. You can download the trial version of Office 2007, then enter the product key included with your installation disk in order to fully activate the product:

2. You can contact Microsoft support in order to get a replacement DVD: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246
3. Another option is to test out the new Office 2010 Beta: http://www.microsoft.com/office/2010/en/default.aspx
I hope this helps!
