Office no longer in the registry

[Daniel]

After an index problem on my hard drive, I had to reinstall XP. MS Office is
still on the hard drive but not in the "new" registry. Is there any way to
fix this without reinstalling Office? I can't find my key codes (got it
online, no box).

Yeah, not having an installation CD or product key are often problems
with pirate/illegal software downloaded from the internet.
