Two ways:
If you want those fonts to be globally visible to all users on the system, you, with root permissions, place them in /usr/share/fonts/truetype (may vary depending on your distribution). It may take X some time to notice the fonts there. If not, you can force refresh the cache with something like "fc-cache -fv".
Of course if this is a system where you are the only user, it's best just to shove them into ~/.fonts instead, as you won't need root permissions to do that. That and you might get the fonts discovered a bit quicker by simpy restarting the application you want to use the font in. If you want your entire desktop to use it, you might need to log out and back in.
By the way: There is no need to worry about whether "Windows" TTFs work in Linux, a TTF is a TTF is a TTF. They're not binaries, they have no architecture/platform dependency to their content, as all their content is is vector graphics and some other data.

How you can install any fonts in the Microsoft Word?
You don't really install fonts for Word, you install fonts for Windows. These fonts are then available for ANY program installed on your computer. Font files usually have an extension TTF (this means it is a font file of the "TrueType" kind). Just copy the font files to the Fonts folder in Windows. Note that font files may be subject to copyright, so if you didn't pay for it, possibly you don't have the right to use it.
