Did you delete a document or the program? If you delete the document you can use "Recuva".
It is possible to recover files with file recovery software. I reccommend Recuva (pronounced "recover"), it is a freeware Windows utility to restore files that have been accidentally deleted from your computer. This includes files emptied from the Recycle bin as well as images and other files that have been deleted by user error from digital camera memory cards or MP3 players. It will even bring back files that have been deleted by bugs, crashes and viruses!
If you deleted the application you have to re-install it.
I recommend Open Office, a free alternative to Microsoft Office.
OpenOffice.org is a multiplatform and multilingual office suite and an open-source project. Compatible with all other major office suites, the product is free to download, use, and distribute.

Re-install the program.
The program has not been deleted from your machine and it still exists on the computer, you just told the computer to forget where its pieces start and end and you gave it permission to write over those old locations.
There is software that can be used to recover individual deleted files that have been removed from the recycle bin, but you would have to recover each and every file in the entire program, set it up in the proper directory tree and make the correct connections to the computer's system registry so it will know how to use and access the program and where to find it. You have lost most of that and only Microsoft knows all the registry changes that are needed to run your word processor.
Okay, you did something REAL stupid, but don't feel alone; I once deleted my entire DOS directory. DOS tells the machine how to operate and with out it you can't even check to see if you have files on the machine much less use any of them. So you learned the hard way; to be sure, REAL SURE, before you empty your recycle bin.
One thing I do is use multiple hard drives in my computer. First when Windows fails, and it will, it always does, then you will lose EVERYTHING on that hard drive unless you have it backed up. I put only my programs on the C: drive and put only data on the D: drive; since I don’t change the C: drive much I don’t lose programs and if (when) Windows commits suicide I only have to reformat the machine, reinstall windows, and reinstall all my programs. Those programs that I downloaded are backed up on the data drive.
You can install at LEAST one SAT and one IDE hard drive on your machine unless it is a notebook then you are limited to only one hard drive. There are also a lot of backup options for external hard drives and they are as easy to use as hooking up a USB cable.
Luckily you didn’t delete Windows so, if you still have your original install disks, you can just install Microsoft Works without harming your data our your current Windows install. Just insert the CD and go to START > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and re-install Microsoft Works. OR you can open Windows Explorer navigate to the CD and find the install file and double click on it to get it to start running. Once you do that then it will all be automatic and your version of Windows will remain safe and stable.
You didn't uninstall the program you just told the computer to forget it ever had it, there is a difference and most of that lies in the system registry; which only a pro wants to monkey with.
I third Samuel Adams recommendation or shell out the big bucks and upgrade to Microsoft Office. It is possible to find copies of Microsoft Office on Limewire, but that it illegal and I can't tell you to do that.

If you uninstalled the program, you'll need the original install CD to reinstall it. If the computer maker preinstalled MS Works and didn't provide a CD, you've lost it. Ask the computer maker if they can help.
If you simply deleted some of the files, restore them from the recycle bin.
If you deleted some of the files and emptied them from the recycle bin, try repairing Works. Go to the Control Panel, Add/Remove programs, select MS Works and choose Change or Repair or Reinstall (exact name varies).

nope, once its gone from your recycle bin, it is gone forever.
BUT!! make a search on your computer to see if you actually still have files or anything that can lead you to re-install it. If it came with your PC, find the recovery disk or the CD that came with your computer. If not, and you need like Word or something, download the trial software for free VIA office 2003 or 2007

I second Samuel Adams OpenOffice recommendation.
I've been using it at home for years, it's fully compatible with the equivalent MS products I use at work.
Only thing it doesn't do (that I've noticed) is support password protected excel files.
Down load it and give it a try, you won't regret it.
