I have never seen a quotation mark in a product key. I'm not sying you and
your family are wrong, I'm just saying something is wrong with that number. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811224 -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Buddyboy2" wrote in message ...

There have been cases where the digits were partially obliterated, and people had to guess from from the portion that remained what the original character was. If you have any other characters where some portion of it looks like it might be a quotation mark if the rest was missing, try that character where the quote mark is. Perhaps the top of a U might look like a quote mark, or a Y. As the error message reports, the Quotation mark is an illegal character in a product key. Since the product key is incomplete or contains erroneous characters, maybe you need to return the package and get a replacement. |

Buddyboy
I you purchased from a from a military base then you have either an Office Enterprise or Professional Plus version of Office which is sold by the Military through the HUP program. These versions have VL numbers and they do not contain quotation marks in the VL Key numbers. I would go back to the base and confirm your Office version and the VL Key number which probably belongs to the military -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged. http://www.microsoft.com/protect "Buddyboy2" wrote in message ...

Try all 26 letters of the alphabet and all numbers 0 to 9 one at a time -
one of them will surely work. "Buddyboy2" wrote in message ...
