Thank you so much Joann. I hope it works. I bought the program at Office
Depot separately from the computer which was bought separately. Have a great
evening!

Okay............let's see if I got this staight. You had Office STE on a
different computer but now need to install it on another one.

If that's right, then you don't want a trial version key. You need to call
Microsoft. (I know you didn't want to read that)

Scroll down to the section titled "How to replace a damaged or lost product
key for a full version"

This is assuming you did not get it preinstalled on the old computer. If you
did, you cannot install it on another computer. You will have to purchase a
new version of Word if that's what you need.

Hi JoAnn,

Thanks for responding to my post. I appreciate it. This situation is
driving
me crazy. I obtained a new product key from microsoft online for trial use
that lasts for a month or two. It is so hard to reach anyone and get
information on this stuff, for me anyway. I wanted to find out how to
reactivate my copy, but that seems to be impossible to find that
information
and I called and could not get any inforamtion. Yikes! What do I do. Can I
unlock the document so that I can use this program? I bought it back in
2003
and have had to load it onto several computers and laptops over the years
due
to computer crashes etc, and now, it appears that I cannot use it any
longer!
I need it for my online college. When my computer recently went kaput and
I
got a new one, this one has microsoft words wp, but my online college
cannot
use that, so now I have to go back and forth between my computer without
2003
word to my laptop with 2003 word. But, I hate using the laptop!!! Okay,
enough of my problem. Can you advise me? Thanks!

I have used up the product key user ability apparently on my
student/teacher
microsoft word 2003 edition and my blank document is locked so that I
cannot
tyupe. I obtined a new product key and reloaded word 2003 and
everything
went through fine, but now when I open a blank document and attempt to
type,
the message comes up that the document is locked. how do I unlock it?
Thanks!
