I seem to recall that the trial provides the option to change the product
key from Word Options Resources, but as you have bought a full version on
disc, it might be wiser to uninstall the trial and re-install from the disc.
You will be prompted for the key during the setup and your existing personal
files should be retained.

I have a trial Microsoft Office on my laptop. I have bought Microsoft
Office
Home and Student 2007 from PC World.
The Instruction says to 1.Start Word 2. Locate the Product Key on the back
of the Media Holder. 3. Enter the 25 digit Product Key to unlock the
software.
The missing stage in the process is : How do I access the Product Key
activation screen with the box in which to enter the Product Key?
