How do I get a product key?
1. Make sure that you are entering the correct key. It's not the one stuck
to the back of your computer. 2. Turn on bright lights - several of the characters can be easily misread. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "*I*Love*Cereal*" wrote in message ...

Okay, I've been typing in the wrong key then. I'm guessing I will have to
call the store where the computer was purchased so that they can give me the code. Right?? "JoAnn Paules" wrote: 1. Make sure that you are entering the correct key.

How do I get a product key?
Computer manufacturers often install a trial version of Microsoft Office.
If you are getting a prompt to type in a Product Key when opening a Microsoft Office program, it s likely the trial period is over and you'll need to purchase a license (product key) for Microsoft Office. The product key affixed to your computer is for Windows Vista (the operating system) and not for Microsoft Office.

Call the computer manufacturer and ask them where they put the key. I would
suggestgoing thru all of your paperwork before doing that. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "*I*Love*Cereal*" wrote in message ...
