Fresh OS and Office 07

[undisclosed]

I am upgrading my Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional
via one of Microsoft's Student Licencing sites, and unfortunately this
means I will have to do a fresh install instead of an "upgrade."

I have Office 07 currently installed on this computer, and on my
desktop (which is getting an upgrade to 7 as well, though not a fresh
install :]) and unless I am mistaken, I have no remaining installations
on my Office 07 disc.

Will I be able to reinstall Office 07 after this fresh install? Can I
back it up on my external hard drive to preserve it? Or am I SOL?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks

You are labouring under a common misapprehension - number of licences does
NOT equate to number of re-installations. You are free to install or
re-install as many times as you like as long as you only have Office
installed on two machines concurrently...

And if you are saying your Office 2007 cd/dvd is an upgrade version then you
need to locate the qualifying version and have that cd avilable when Office
2007 complains
