Where can I re-download Office 2003 from?

A

ah

Office 2003 disappeared from my laptop when I uninstalled 2007 beta and I
don't have the CD because it came preinstalled in my laptop when I bought it
and after the trial period I just paid online to keep it.

Hi, ah,

Contact your computer manufacturer to find out how to re-install the
software. They are responsible for supporting the software they have
licensed to you.

I understand, but if it came pre-installed, the computer manufacturer is
responsible for supporting it.

Hi Ah,

You can contact MS for a replacement CD (the 2003 trial/convertible product is a discontinued item and no longer available for
download).

In the U.S. MS normally sends the CDs out to folks who purchase a product trial-to-perpetual license conversion, but it's often a
slower process than contacting them directly.

Well, actually, during installation, there was an option for you to retain
your previous version instead of upgrading. An upgrade is the default
behavior of a new version of the software. But it probably wasn't very
clear when you downloaded and installed, unless you read the instructions. I
agree, it would be better if a "trial" version had different default
behavior and left your system alone.

Anyhow, follow Bob's advice--he's terrific.

ah

I retained my previous version until uninstalling. It was still in my
computer a few days ago, therefore it is indeed a bug that occurred at the
uninstallation.

I am in the same situation as AH except that my hard drive crashed out on me.
I have a version but the CD busted. IS there any way on line to get the
download or do I have to get a replacement CD? I still have the product key.

ah

Poor you. I hope that you had a backup.
