Microsoft Word Product Key

Question
-
I finally found the product key on the back of my computer since I don't have the CD for the computer anymore.
I pull up Microsoft Word or PowerPoint it ask for a product key so I type it in but, a message comes up and says that the product key is incorrect.
Why does this message keep popping up when the key that i am using is the one on the back of the computer?Monday, August 11, 2008 5:37 PM

The product key affixed to your computer is for Microsoft Windows (the operating system) and not for Microsoft Office. Please review the following:How to buy the 2007 Microsoft Office suites:
