My daughter's hard drive crashed, and when I found her office for mac
CD to reinstall it, the folder with the product key was missing--we
can't find it anywhere. Is there a way to get the key, or do we have
to buy another copy of office?

If you have proof of purchase, Microsoft will issue you a new key. I'm
guessing you don't have this so the next best bet would be to find a backup
of your user's preferences file and move the Microsoft folder in preferences
to replace your current folder. The info is in an invisible file.

If you are running an older version of Office, I suggest you check out the
new sweet deal by Microsoft:

BTW, be sure to update Office

You need to get these updaters:

11.3.5 combo
11.3.6 requires 11.3.5 to be installed
11.3.7 requires 11.3.6 to be installed
11.3.8 requires 11.3.7 to be installed
