Office re-install after Windows re-install

[marks pain]

I had problems with my Win 2000 Prof and Office 2000. So
I reinstalled Win 2000, erasing the old files. Now when I
go back to re-instll Office 2000 Stdrd, I can't. Office
2000 says it can't find a previous version of Office.

How do I re-install a S/W program I bought but that thinks
I don't have the right to install (re-intall) it?

Pained again !!

If your Office 2000 is an upgrade copy, you must have your previous version's setup disk with you and insert it when setup requests it to prove that you are eligible for the upgrade version.
