Are you sure you actually bought a copy of MS Word? Gateway 
computers generally come with a trial version of MS Office. 
Office will run for 30 days (or maybe 60 days)  and you need to 
actually buy the program and enter the code to make the 
applications run properly after that. If you bought a copy with 
the computer, you should have the license sticker with the key 
on it somewhere. Do you see your Windows license sticker on the 
computer? The MS Office license/key should look similar but 
might be a bit larger.  It is also possible to buy MS Word as 
part of the MS Works Suite. I think, but I'm not sure, that the 
license/key looks similar for that as well.
