Hello,

To do it legally, you will need to buy the new version. You can find them for $100 to $150 if you can get by with the Student Edition. That is usually enough for most, and you can get it from most computer stores such as Staples, Office Max, etc. You can also try eBay, or some other online stores, but be careful of someone offering it for $25 or so. It is most likely an illegal copy.

Good luck and thanks for using Fixya.

    Forgot to mention that if you do get a new version, use the Uninstall Programs from the Control Panel and remove the older version first to avoid possible conflicts when installing the new one.

Oem gateway microsoft word product key

The product key on the computer is only for the Windows operating system. It won't work for Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, ...). Unless you paid extra for Microsoft Office, you have a free trial copy that will expire after 25 uses (of all Office programs combined) or 60 days. Until then, you can use the trial copy by just clicking the Continue button in the registration window without entering anything in the product key boxes.

But be warned: When the trial period expires -- with little or no warning -- you'll be able to read and print your documents, but not much more. Here are some of your options for paying less than full price for Microsoft Office 2007:

First, if you're a student, you may qualify for the Ultimate Steal edition of Office at a pretty good price ($59.95):

http://www.microsoft.com/student/discoun...

Second, if you're interested in buying just Word, check out this URL, especially the second group of listings.

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/produc...

Note that the higher of the two prices quoted is for a full version of that program and the lower, for upgrades from existing software. Read the list of upgrade-qualifying software carefully: MS Works is often one, and may have come on your machine.

Finally, if you're willing to spend a little to save a little, Microsoft Works is available in stores for about $40.00. You could buy a copy, install it, then buy Office at the upgrade level. I think you'd come out ahead. Note that the upgrade copy probably checks your machine for Works' presence, so don't get rid of it after you've installed Office. You never know when you're going to have to reinstall Office.

Also, if you have files that are locked up in the new Word 2007 file format (.docx), here's a possibility for salvaging them. Microsoft offers a free Compatibility pack that allows earlier versions of Word (and Microsoft Works) to read and write Word 2007 files. If you have access to an earlier version, this can at least give you back your documents. Some new features of Word 2007 will be lost or converted to straight text in the conversion to the earlier version.

This computer use to have windowsxp it was upgrade to windows vista but do not have a product key can i install the windowxp the key no#for windows xp is in the back of the computer or how to buy a key no.

You have to enter a new Vista product id to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows Vista. The Windows XP product id will not work for Windows Vista. If you bought the Vista from an authorized retailer of Microsoft products then the serial number would be on the back of the software pack.
If you want to you can buy an activation code from Microsoft. Having an activation code means you don't need a product id and that your right to use the software is recognized by Microsoft.
I am not sure if you also have a problem with Microsoft Office because your question says "problem with Microsoft Office Professional 2007...". If you do then the same thing applies. an activation code is even stronger than a product id for both Windows and Office because a product id only gives you permission to install and use the software offline for a short time and it still needs to be activated by Microsoft before you can use it fully or longer. An activation code allows you to use the software without any limitations online or offline and also to get updates and upgrades for them from Microsoft.
If you cannot afford genuine Office software or a Microsoft Office activation code then you can download free software called Open Office which is almost as good as Microsoft Office and can even be used to open and edit Microsoft Office documents.
It is always better to have the genuine activated version.

Here are the sites you need:
www.microsoft.com
www.openoffice.org

My microsoft office cannot be working, when i upgrade my microsoft office 2007 to 2010 only 30 days now is can't working.

Unfortunately, you need to purchase a new product key. Upgrades are not automatic with Microsoft Office. You can buy the software online or in any office products store (Staples, Office Depot, etc...).

How to update my ms office from 2003 to 2007

Changing versions is actually an upgrade instead of an update. The only way to upgrade to the 2007 version is to purchase it. Office 2010 has now been released so price on 2007 will gradually decrease over time. The best price is to be patient and diligently watch eBay for a good deal. Make sure that what you buy is genuine and has a COA.

How can I upgrade my microsoft office from 2002 to the version 2007.

Go to any "big-box" computer-store, and buy a copy of "Microsoft Office 2007 Upgrade". However, now that Office 2010 has been released, you should buy "Microsoft Office 2010 Upgrade".
