Office 2003 doesn't work.

Hi Stacey,

Yes, I believe the volume license agreement covers Office for home PCs
and many companies have this agreement. It's probably the most sensible
way to get hold of office for a home PC, and it also gets round all the
"Activation" nonsense when you buy a new PC or hard drive.
Absolutely. But the problem is with my home pc's CD ROM drive. As I
stated, I do have the 2nd RW CD ROM on my home pc as well, but can that
"read" from a CD that isn't writable?

The way I see it, it's YOUR responsibility to find a working CD-ROM or
CD-RW for your home PC. The company would then be able to offer you a
fully service-packed and patched CD ready to roll.

I always ensure my users get patched and packed CDs, otherwise I'd be
setting them up for security exploits.

It _is_ possible to install office from a zip file, but we don't have
time to get into that right now.
