Sorry you have a issue with my use of quotes. They merely indicate the word used is meant to convey a concept, and not a literal meaning. For instance "valid" does not mean valid, but only that the system has not been programmed to reject it. Likewise "assumption" meaning the method you used to decide where the support for your software was supposed to come from. So don't be too concerned about quotes, they weren't intended to annoy you.

I'm afraid that the "assumption" of having "received updates" and passing "GAV" means that Microsoft is obligated to provide replacement OEM materials is completely incorrect. It is nothing more than a database of "valid" or "working" product keys. You will need to contact the vendor for any "replacement" media 



Dear quote unquote Bob I,

The assumption that you ascribe to me is "completely incorrect".
I mentioned those things only to illustrate that my computer software has passed muster for those purposes. Being unaware, as i am, of how these qualifications are made, I thought it might at least show that my software is mine.

It is difficult for me to discern the reasoning behind your "overuse" of quotations. Typically, quotation marks are used to denote a statement which is not the author's, or (maybe you already "knew" this, but..) around words used satirically or in an ironic sense. We already know that you are not quoting a speaker, so where does that leave me? I have to tell you that i find that tone quite offensive, wouldn't you? again, it might be that you are "unfamiliar" with appropriate usage of the quotation mark, and in that case, an unintended condescension will be forgiven.

You will need the Office 2003 Student and Teacher CD to reinstall Office.



Dear Bob I,

Thank you for your reply. The Office 2003 Student and Teacher CD was not included in the materials which came with my computer. Neither was a CD included for the operating system, which i think i mentioned, is windowsXP.
There is a very obvious problem it would seem with buying a computer with preinstalled software. What it is that distinguishes me from someone looking to get something for nothing is about 800.00 us dollars.
While i have been unable to garner assistance with repairing office, i have had no trouble authenticating my copy of windows using the Genuine Advantage Validation System and recieving updates and support relevant to windowsxp. It is a bitter pill to swallow, and indeed i remain unconvinced that the same type of verification cannot be applied in this situation.

thank you again for your polite attention.

Sincerely,
anj119
