In general, reloading a program will not affect Word files you have
created. However, to feel entirely safe, you should first backup the
files that are important to you--email them to yourself (gmail accounts,
with lots of storage, are good for this), copy them to a flash drive,
burn them to a CD, or something. It's always a good idea to backup
important files before installing or doing other system-related things
on your computer.
If you have further questions, however, you'll have to ask
elsewhere--this is actually a MacWord group and no one here knows much
about MS Works. Look again for a Works newsgroup, or maybe try a
Word/Office group here:
