Need Product Key....FROM ANYONE!

Hi Bobbee,

Product keys are unique to each user so the chances of you getting one
on this newsgroup is zilt! Nobody would be foolish enough to give you
one as it will cause problems with activation. Also, OEM versions have
lots of restrictions and I don't understand why people buy these
software packages. You should only buy the retail versions which can be
transfereed to another PC in the event of a failure of your hardware as
long as you can explain this to alaways very helpful MS telephone
assistants.

What you could do for now is to order Wordperfect Office 2002 from
Amazon (http://tinyurl.com/5nscw) and you don't have to worry about
product code at all! You can run this program in Word 2002
mode/configuration so you don't have to learn any new short cut keys.
They also have Wordperfect Office 12 but it is about $100 for an upgrade
version and unless you have money to waste there is no point.

Corel's Newsgroup is also quite good and people are very helpful
indeed. I have found people here (on MS newsgroups) like to insult each
other for whatever reasons! Come on we are all adults here with
children to look after.

Hope this helps.

The problem is simple: I need an id key for MSOffice.
Yes, we had one, but with school just now starting, my
son needs to actually USE MSWord 2003. but no, he cannot
find the disc.

I wrote to Dell. They told me to write to MS. I wrote
to MS, they told me to write to Dell. So it went for a
few days. Finally, Dell explains that because it's the
2003 version, I MUST go right to MS. MS won't even let
me ask a question as soon as they see "oem" in the
product id.

HELPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!

Anonymous,
Correct to date on the oem difficulties for Office 2003.
Dell, from our experience has the best support via email if you provide
specific answers to questions for warranty replacement and as well being
persistent.
For oem versions of Corel sofware problems, who does the customer contact?
Would the op go thru the same channel to resolve this?

Have children to look after,
