Thank you for your quick response, Carey. If I have to reinstall, will I
loose all my settings? Thanks.

Unfortunately, one cannot change the product key in Office.
You'll have to uninstall the non-genuine version of Office,
then install the genuine version.

I installed a copy of MS Office 2003 that is working just great. I recently
tried to validate it and was astonished to find that it was not valid. I
purchased another copy and want to update the product key. I don't want to
uninstall and reinstall because I have everything setup perfectly. Can't I
just add a new proudct key? I have other programs working with Outlook
(norton) and don't want to reinstall. I assume that I will loose every
setting (not contacts and email) I have if I have to reinstall. I appreciate
any advice. Thanks.
