office 2003 teacher student purchase on-line gone south

[marcus]

I weighed office 2003 and 2007 and it was a no brainer to purchase 2003 over
2007 because 2003 includes Outlook for my neice who is going to college this
fall. Microsoft allowed me to purchased Office 2003 for students and teachers
and emailed me a key, but all download links off of the microsoft web site
for Office 2003 standard / teacher student either do not work or re-direct
you to Office 2007. So now I am out $150 and the key does not work with 2007.
This is a crock! How do I find a link to Office 2003 standard / teacher
student trial that works?

Did you try contacting Microsoft instead of a newsgroup read by non-Softies?

Closed over the weekend. You would think a world wide company would have 24x7
suuport.

Microsoft customer service is there 7 days a week but not 24/7. Did you
check the email with your number for any contact info. I suspect it's not
from Microsoft but a company contracted to handle the sales.

Maybe individual downloads?

I'm not sure, Marcus, but I believe the Student edition is the same as the
regular Office, so you should be able to just download Office 2003, install
using your key, and should be good to go.

As I said, I'm not sure, but it should work.

I think you'll find thats the link for add ons etc, not the actual app.

The problem is that Microsoft no longer has the 2003 version available for
download. It was pulled when 2007 when up for sale.
