I have an older version of Word (2001) and the CD's are at home (I'm on the road). I'm doing some editing of a doc file where I'll be using track changes. When I open the docs Word tells me "Word can't hyphenate this document, the feature in not currently installed, would I like to install". If I click yes it asks for the CD.

I've found both .dlls (mshyph2.dll and mshy32.dll) on the web at http://www.webzila.com/?wz=dll

Anyway, I probably don't even need the hyphen feature as track changes works, but since I've downloaded them how would I install them. I'm assuming I'd extract to????

Also, if I do install, do I run the rick of screwing up Word?

I'd guess that you should just extract them to the folder Microsoft Words is installed to.

Either that or to any folder within it that seems to contain the .dll files.

There shouldn't be any reason why adding those .dll files will mess up your installation of Words. If any problems appear because of them, just delete the .dll files
