Saving Office from System Reinstall

[Starseed]

I am preparing to reinstall my XP due to lag issues and programs working
weird. I want to keep my Office but I cannot find my discs and therefore I do
not have my key. Is there any way to find my product key so I have it after I
reinstall windows?

You are _not_ going to be able to reinstall Office without _both_ the discs and
the product key.

You can try the contacts listed in these articles:

I hope you have some way to show that you did buy your copy of Office.

Hi

Yes you can save the product key info, but before we
proceed. This can be done with only office 2007, so that you can download
install office 2007 trail and update the product key.

Please let me know if this is office 2007.

Regards,

Sunny

This will show you your Product key:

However you won't be able to re-install without the disks. Presumably you've
done all the normal housekeeping and AV and antimalware stuff before
deciding to wipe the disk clean and re-install Windows?
