There is no one product key. There is a unique one for each copy, and you
need to find the one for yours. Usually it's on a yellow or orange sticker
on the CD/DVD case. If you have lost yours, see "How to Obtain a New Product
Key for Office Program Setup" at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823570

thanks for your reply. i should have put more info in my original post. i bought a new e-machine computer from a store and microsoft office was on the computer when i bought it. i didnt have a CD case.

i never had to use Word until recently someone sent me a word document and i
couldnt open it because word wasnt set up.

i called the store where i purchased the computer and they told me i needed
to call microsoft. i called microsoft and they told me they didnt have any
product keys for word 2003 any more and told me to post a request in this
discussion group and now here i am.

You are really out of luck at this point. Because Word was preinstalled,
Microsoft cannot help you. It would be up to the computer manufacturer -
and, as you've learned, they are of no help.

If all you need to do is *read* the file, you can download the free Word
Viewer from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

You really only have a few options if you need to *edit* Word files. Among
them:
1. Try to find an old copy of Word 2003.
2. Buy Word 2007, Office 2007, or Works Suite.
