Microsoft Office came with my computer without a backup
disk. I need to transfer this software to another
computer, but it keeps asking for the disk. How do I do
this without the disk?

Thanks,
Judy

Judy,

If Office came pre-installed on your computer, it is what is called an "OEM"
(original equipment manufacturer) version, and cannot legally be transferred
to any other machine. It is permanently wedded to the machine on which it
was originally installed. You are not allowed to install it or transfer it
to any other machine. See http://www.cpearson.com/excel/eulafaq.htm for
