Log on in XP as Administrator, then browse to the documents and settings folder
for the user you're wanting to copy files to or from (whichever).....and
copy/paste the files in their "my documents" folder - when they log on to their
account, then they'll see the files when the open them in Word (the ones you've
copied across).

Yes, use Windows Explorer.
