I have the funny feeling you are using Apple OSX. If you see the file of that name, you should be able to run it by typing:
./microsoft\ word.app &

The period forward slash is saying "from here, run this", the backslash is to deal with the space in the filename, and the & is to run the application in the backround so you can continue use of your terminal.
