Can I replace my disks?

[Steve B.]

I _know_ this will sound bogus, but I've truly-rooly lost my Office Mac
disks. I've searched high and low and have come to the inclusion that
they've fallen into a wormhole and are being used on another planet.

This is no big problem at the moment as I have the apps. installed and
everything is working fine, but it could be a problem if I need to perform a
format/reinstall/whatever. Actually, I just had a HD go south (which is why
I was looking for my disks) but managed to clone enough of the drive before
it died that my Office apps. work.

Given that I know my serial no., is there some way I can replace my disks?

Thanks in advance,
Steve = : ^ )

It seems I'll have to go back a couple of expanding files to find my proof
of purchase but it shouldn't be too big a problem.

Okay, I've found my proof of purchase. The info on the page isn't terribly
helpful - it tells me to call a number which I assume is in the US. I'm in
Australia. I can pay ($35 email or $50 phone) for tech support but this
isn't really what I need.

Any other suggestions.

Borrow some disks from a friend and copy them?

Scour the MS Australia site for a similar article to the above?
