Using Word from Server

I have Microsoft Word installed on my server, can I access it from the other computers on the network? If so how do I do it?
Thanks

2 ways that are somewhat easy - the first is RPC orWindows Desktop sharing. the other requires setting it up as a VNC server.

or

You can install a server-centric version of office and be able to connect and use locally from client machines. This is expensive ($3k for 25 users). Or you can use Open Office openoffice.org and install that server-centric for free
