Excel 2003 cannot enter product key!!
The computer that i originally uploaded 2003 Office went kaput. I uploaded
it to my new cpu, which runs on vista, and am not able to enter my product key. This was not a problem at first because I could click off the screen and run it without entering the PKey. Now, five months later, I can open the program the same way (by clicking out of the enter product key prompt) but when the file that i want pulls up it displays all of my information but will not let me work with the program. I select cells, but cannot enter any data into them; nor can i edit any of my saved work. Any suggestions??????? |

Excel 2003 cannot enter product key!!
How did you "upload" Office to your new computer?
How did you install Office 2003 without a CD and product key? Sounds like perhaps you had an old trial version of Office 2003 that has finally expired but not sure. Can you provide some more details about origin of Office 2003 Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Tue, 6 Oct 2009 17:10:01 -0700, microsoft exchange server help! .com wrote: The computer that i originally uploaded 2003 Office went kaput.

Excel 2003 cannot enter product key!!
Gord,
I was able to upload by providing a product key later. Microsoft Office 2003 was purchased brand new from circuit city. I have the original CD, case, book, and product key; but when i enter the product key in when prompted, it says that it is incorrect. For the first few months this was not a problem because I was able to "X" out of the prompt after it saying that the PKey entered was incorrect and still get into Excel and do work; but now when I "X" out of it, my file opens but i cannot work with it.

It is time to activate Office.
See Help in any Office Application............Excel for one..........on "product activation" From help is this quote............. What happens if you don't activate your copy of Microsoft Office? Before you activate Office, you may run it for a limited amount of time. Microsoft Office will go into Reduced Functionality Mode when this grace period expires. In Reduced Functionality Mode, you will not be able to save modifications to documents or create a new document, and additional functionality may be reduced. End help quote............................... You can do this over the Internet or by phone which is all explained in help Gord On Tue, 6 Oct 2009 22:02:01 -0700, microsoft exchange server help! .com wrote: Gord, I was able to upload by providing a product key later.
