If you don't have a valid key, you get out your wallet and buy Word/Office.

This has happened to me 2x.... This is a corp edition of 2003. Last time I
just put office 2007 on my machine, that worked, but I was stuck with
2007........
I nuked my machine, installed office 2003 pro, it had worked for a long time
now it's not working again. If you run the "activation" wizard, nothing
happens.
Please help!!!

So what's up with your machine that you cannot use it or why you are trying
to run the activation wizard? Is this still a corporate version?

Suzanne gave you step-by-step instructions. Look for Help on top of the

Help | Activate Product means that you click on Help on the menu bar, then
select Activate Product from the Help menu.
