If you don't have the Office CD and Product Code and your former
employer won't give it to you, you're SOL and will need to buy a used
copy of 03 or a new copy of 07. Or, you can download Open Office from
www.openoffice.org and use that. It's free but doesn't come with an
email/calendar/task program like Outlook.
