Microsoft Office product key

Actually if you install this on the laptop it should open (and edit) the new file formats. http://www.microsoft.com/downloadS/details.aspx?familyid=941B3470-3AE9-4AEE-8F43-C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en

(my bad, I forgot about the compatibility pack)

It's a file that I need to update on a regular basis, and as I won't be able to retrieve the data from source, it looks like I will have to invest the £149 for Windows Office.

Just been onto PC World, and if I order online I can get it for £79.99, so looks like I might have to go for that

See my post above. You should be able to convert it using the compatibility pack (and it's actually smaller than the other link I gave)

Thanks, I am running it now, if it works it will save me loads of time and money :T

I have downloaded it, and tried to open the file from the memory stick, but it still says the file is not in a recognizable format. Am I being really thick ?

I've not used it to be honest (I've already got Office 2007 ), have you looked here for instructions: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/924074
