Hi Joe,

If you hada boxed retail copy of Microsoft Word or Office you can use the
phone numbers at http://microsoft.com/worldwide (800-360-7561 in the u.s.)
To get a replacement key.

If the software came with the machine that you leased from Dell, then it is
most likely that it was an OEM version of the software in which case it is
only licensed for use on that machine.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested.  Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps
