Before you kick the computer...Where did you get the key you're trying to
use?

Are you typing in the Office 2007 product key shown on
the Office 2007 Certificate of Authenticity?

Are you using the code from the sticker attached to your computer? If
so that code is for Windows, not office. You should be getting the key
off the sticker attached to the CD case that Office came in.

Are you reading the code carefully? "B" and "8" and "0" (zero) and "O"
(Oh) look a lot alike (actually I don't think that the product keys
ever use zero's or oh's.
