Default my product key will not work (I used a maganify glass to make sure

I've tried 4 times, changed 8's to B's and back and used a magnafying glass
to make sure I got it right. It won't accent my key...what's wrong with it???

What happens when you try? I assume you're getting some sort of an error
message. What does it say - exactly, please.

It just says the key is incorrect. Like I said, I even used a magenfying
glass to make sure I got every letter and number right, the response was
always "incorrect key". Am I stupid or is the software? lol!

Where is the product key located? On the Office disk? Office disk jewel
case?

I uninstalled the Office 2003 that came with my computer, I re-downloaded the
program from your site, the product key it gave me is ALSO "invalid". And I
copy and pasted that one just to make sure. I give up. I'm not buying a
product I can't use, I'm not even going to try it out, I'm removing
it...permenently.
Thank you,
Phyllis Davidson

I'm reasnswering your post, I removed the old program and redownloaded the
trial from the web site, I still got a "Ivalid key" message. I'm just not
going to mess with it anymore, it's too much trouble and I won't buy or try
something I can't use. But thank you for your help JoAnn.

I don't like the trial versions but not for the reason you list.

Where did you find the product key that you are using?
