Hey, I'm getting a new computer here sometime this winter, and I have Office 2007 on my laptop, I would like to of course put it on my new computer, but I dont have any of the CDs or product key for my copy(got lost when I moved, been looking for ever). I was wondering if I can just copy it over. If not what do I have to do, or would I have to get another product key?

Thanks

I don't see how yoy can just copy it over when it needs to build the registry files on the install. And you will need the product key to install it.
Now there is better news if you can qualify for a student discount, a builder discount, or a businees discount.

Here is a link to Keyfinder

If you recover your key, maybe you can borrow a copy of Office and do a correct install.

Alternatively, you can use OpenOffice.

Free program that has all the functions of MS Office, only it's free. I use it on my laptop with no problems... except when I forget to tell it to save as a .doc instead of a .odf.

Office 2007? My school has it on all it's systems in the computer labs, and I hate it.

I have Office 2003 at home, and I use it where I work, and I love it Cool

Everyone has an opinion about office. I own Office 95, 2000, 2003 and 2007.

My opinion is Office 2007 might be the best piece of software MS ever came out with.

I make my living using Office and find 2007 to be a great piece of software.

My problem is I can't find anything in Word 2007. I can't find the same simple features in Word 2007 that I can in Word 2003.

And what really bugs me, is that I can't find the indent bars in Word 2007, that 2003 has where you can adjust margins, tables, paragraph indentations, ect. I use that feature so much, that when I try to use the school computers, I simply don't know how to format my papers as easily.

I won't argue that point.

It took me a while to figure it out, now I have a problem using 2003.
