I have office 2008 for mac and I have two of the three product keys still to use. The problem is that my iBook G4 doesn't have a DVD drive in it. Is there some other way to get the program onto my laptop and use one of my product key?

I have office 2008 for mac and I have two of the three product keys still to
use. The problem is that my iBook G4 doesn't have a DVD drive in it. Is there
some other way to get the program onto my laptop and use one of my product
key?

Use a crossover Ethernet cable. Set up File Sharing and you should be able
to see the other computer on the iBook.

If you just drag Office over, you won't get the fonts and other files like
the spotlight importer. You should be able to create a .dmg of your DVD and
drag that over to install.

Use Disk Utility:

Load the original DVD image in Disk Copy, select
"DVD/CD Master" in the Image Format popup, and "none" in the
Encryption popup.
