I purchased a new computer. How do I register office 2007 on my new computer
when I have a validation code upgrade from word 2003 on my old computer? It
will not accept the upgrade code? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You can't install the Upgrade package in the new machine.

You must install an Upgrade package on a machine where an exisiting
Qualified Base Product is installed. The new machine has no qualified base
product, so the Upgrade cannot be installed there.

Your statements are a little confusing but I'll try to help.

You say you have a validation code upgrade... If this is an activation code
for Office 2003 on the old computer it can't be used to activate the trial
software that comes on most new computers.

If you have purchased a license for 2007 upgrade then you need the companion
software disk to install the programs onto the new computer after you
uninstall the Office trial software and also it's activation assistant. You
would also need a qualifying upgradable product from this list: Microsoft
Works 6.0–10; Microsoft Works suite 2000–2006 or later; any 2000–2007
Microsoft Office program or suite; any Microsoft Office XP suite except
Office XP Student and Teacher. If you don't have a disk that qualifies then
you can't install using your upgrade software.

If neither of these conditions are correct then please post back with
exactly what activation key you have (read the information on the label,)
whether you have the same software version installation media, etc.
