The link is to the beta version which should recover Office 2003.

I can reinstall office with any disks or borrow a friends. My question
was,
and still is, how do I find the Product ID number that my mother-in-law
has
purchased?

That is my question. How do I find the product ID number. As stated
before, we don't have the disks.

You will need the installation disks to install Office.

the product ID is not the product key which would be needed
for re installation - perhaps it is written on the receipt
for the purchase

That is my question. How do I find the product ID number. As stated
before, we don't have the disks.

The product ID will not assist you here you need the product
key, which may be found using magic jellybean (tho I do not
know if it will work on a disk set up as a slave.

The product key will be on the sticker on the old PC case or
on the cd case that held the CDs when they were supplied

Using your friends disk and a product key that you might
find on your pc does not mean that office will re install

Go back to those who sold her the "product ID" and use their
disks

good luck

You will need the installation disks to install Office.
