I don't remember exactly what the instructions say in WinXP, but essentially if you tell Control Panel to "install" it should let you pick what options you want, and will overwrite any that don't agree with what you ordered. That's effectively a "repair" even if it doesn't call it that.

Since you indicated you have Works, and it came with the "Basic" versions of the Operating Systems, you possibly have one of the basic Win versions. Some of the "beginner" OS versions lacked parts of the repair and maintenance tools that were in Pro/Premium versions, so what you see in Contol Panel might be a little dfferent than what I remember.

I've never had much contact with the cheap versions since my usage has always needed more of the goodies. Recollection is that WinXP came in something like 7 versions, although it's been a while since I looked it up.

The Office versions were also numerous, but shouldn't make much difference. All versions had the "real" programs, and the different versions of Office just gave you different ones of them. Word should be in all, and the same for all.
