install office standard with a pro cd?

[bradphipps]

I have a license for Office XP Standard, but my cdrom is missing. I
tried calling for a replacement, but they apparently don't produce
those cd's anymore.
A friend has an Office XP Pro cd. I know Pro has other components that
Standard doesnt have like MsAccess, but all I want to use is Word and
Excel only.
Is it legal for me to use a "Pro" cdrom to install from, using my
license number to install JUST Word and Excel? I would assume it's OK
since my Office Standard includes licenses for Word and Excel, but I
just want to make sure. I'm afraid it will say "Office Pro" everywhere
and make me look illegal.
If it's not OK, could someone point me to a place where I can get
Office XP Standard install media?

Not legal. And if you try to activate the Professional software using
your Standard product key, it won't work, even if you only install the
Standard applications from the Professional CD. Some online vendors
(caveat emptor) still sell Office XP... ask google. If your computer
can handle it, you now have a good excuse to upgrade to Office 2007.
