the office setup assistant asked to online register this product
and redirect me to this page:

<https://profile.microsoft.com/RegSy...px?wizid=ff78c414-115d-442c-bb7c-afc5d71dc0fe>

BUT, i cannot get access to this page.
(LOADING LOADING and LOADING, if i use macbook)
(windows Live ID is unavailable from this site for one of the following reasons: this site may be experiencing a problem, the site may not be a member of Windows Live ID, if i use a pc)

what's the problem actually?

Registration is not required. Office for Mac is not activated. The only
thing registering does is put you on a mailing list.

The cause of the problem accessing the site is another matter. This has
become a common problem lately with users unable to get to the Mactopia
downloads.

Your ISP's DNS servers, which resolve server names to IP addresses so
that your machine can connect, have given your Mac some bad information.

First, try clearing your computer's DNS cache. It's quick and causes no
Harm:

1. Open the Terminal application found in /Applications/Utilities.
2. Enter this command followed by a return:

dscacheutil -flushcache (for Leopard)
lookupd -flushcache (for Tiger)

3. Try your download again. Your machine should have to query your DNS
servers again for an address.

If the above doesn't work then your ISP's DNS servers are still causing
you a problem. Look into using <http://www.opendns.org/> to substitute
your ISP's DNS server addresses with this service's DNS servers. It's
also very simple and will very probably allow you to download your
updates. You may need to run the above Terminal command again after
changing your DNS servers.

You might also consider just using these new DNS server addresses
permanently. See if your speed accessing websites improves and note
whether or not you have fewer or more problems connecting to sites.

For more information have a look at this blog post:

Hope this helps!
