I have an old copy of microsoft office 2000. It got corrupted, so I
uninstalled it then reinstalled it. Somehow between the first installation
and the second, the magic coding I have to type in to prove it is mine
hascome off the casing. What do I do now? I can't use programs until I type
this in.

First of all the code on the case was not for Office but for your OS. Next do
yourself a favor and go out and purchase Office. Office 2000 has no more support and
no more anything and that includes downloads of SP's and updates. It is a dead
Office version where you are not able to get anything for it because of the
agreement between the DOJ,SUN with Microsoft on their Java issue

Hi Peter,

> First of all the code on the case was not for Office but for your OS.
Where do you get that idea from? Have you never seen an Office 2000 CD case? The product key was placed on a sticker on the outside
of the back of the case.

And, as discussed in the other thread in the NG on this issue to which you contributed, most updates are still available. See, for
example:
