Chris, you mentioned that you Office 2000 OEM. If I am not mistaken
Microsoft does not replace OEM Cd's(or Installation Media) as according to
the OEM policies of Microsoft it shall only provide technical help and any
media replacement or product ID help shall be taken care by the OEM. Another
thing is that even if Microsoft would support replacing OEM Cds it would not
do so for Office 2000 as its considered to be out of support life atleast
for replacement and Microsoft has stopped shipping Office 2000 Cd to even
its Retail customer.

So I would suggest you to do is get the latest version of Office i.e. the
Office 2002(XP) or maybe Office 2003

For more info try to contact the Microsoft Order Desk at 1-800-360-7561

Office Small Business vs Office 2000. Off 2000 is not available at all =
anymore unless you find one at a place such as Ebay. And I believe that =
Office Small Business might still be available since it falls under the =
Server. (Office Small Business Server SBS)

Office 2000 SBE is a part of Office, as the OP would not be asking about a
server product in the Office group, no?
