Is it possible to reinstall microsoft office without the disk?

[annette0465]

I purchased Microsoft Office 2003 Standard Edition when I bought my laptop in
Feb 2005. Recently my Windows XP got wiped out and I had to reinstall from
disk. When my laptop was finally functioning again, I discovered that my
Microsoft Office software had been wiped out as well and I cannot find the
original disk. Is there a way I can get this reinstalled since the keycode
is most likely still in the registry without having to puchase the software
again.

If it came with your laptop, you need to contact your computer manufacturer.
No way around that.

Not likely if XP was "wiped." If XP was totally reinstalled, it replaced
the registry on the new install. You will need the CD and the key to
reinstall. There is no legal download of any office software except for
"trial" software from Microsoft.

If you purchased the software with the computer follow JoAnn's information
and if you purchased it separately from a retail source, follow Milly's
information.
