Office 2002

[Quovadis]

Is the a way to upgrade from 2002 to vista 2007 Office ? The new laptop has
come with a trial version of office 2007 but I already have an original CD
of 2002 with the orginal registration keys ............I didnt really want to
install a lower version if there is a way to upgrade easily (and ideally
without to much cost)

If I do have to buy a new key ............can I still get the CD from
Microsoft to keep as the original software installation disk ?

Office XP is not fully compatible with Windows Vista but it can be used for a qualifying product if you purchase Office 2003 or 2007 (both of which are compatible with Windows Vista). See this page for a list of issues with Office XP and Windows Vista:

If you decide to upgrade to Office 2007, do yourself a favor and try amazon.com for free shipping and some of the cheaper prices.
