I have purchased Office 2007 and installed on my desktop. Do I need to buy a
second copy for my laptop? I tried downloading and using my key on the
laptop but it didn't work....
Many thanks.

Might depend on the version of Office you purchased, eg Retail or OEM

DL - I purchased it from this site - Micro Soft, and I selected the Standard
edition.

Sounds like it's a retail license since you got the one from the Microsoft
site. Retail licenses for Office 2007 suites and standalone apps allow you
to install on one desktop and one portable device at the same time. You can
view the software license terms in the Help menu/About Microsoft Office
application name window in any of the office applications. You can also
see them online here

What do you mean by 'didn't work' when you tried using the key on your
laptop? Did you get an error entering the key or when you tried to activate
Office, or something else? If you got an error, what's the error?
