Reinstalling Office 2000 upgrade

[JulieBurk]

I need to use a hard disk restore disk on a computer that is having problems
which will wipe the computer clean and reset it as it was when new. I had an
early version of Word which I upgraded to Office 2000 some time ago. I can
find my upgrade CDs, but not the Word disks or CDs,(don't even remember what
I'm looking for.) Guess I should've kept them together, but I didn't. Is
there anything I can back up from the hard disk before I restore it that will
allow me to install the Office upgrade after the restore?

No, you need the original qualifying CD itself in order
to install an Upgrade version of Office.

My guess is that you are looking for the Works Suite CDs.
