Office 2007 Key but no disk

Hi all,
I had a copy of office 2007, I lost the CD during a move and i cant remember whether it was student/standard/pro/small business etc
I kept the key on google docs but in my infinite wisdom i didnt think to put the type of office 2007 on the document.
my question is this, is it possible to find out the office version just by the key?
I had the idea of downloading a copy of office 2007 trial and updating it with the key to unlock whatever version it should be... but im not even sure if this is possible.
thoughts anyone?

unfortunately the laptop it was on had a system restore, not thinking about the fact i didnt have the version or disk to hand i went ahead and now im stuck using office 2003 a friend gave me, would prefer to get back to office 2007 legit0 -
I managed to find a copy of office 2007 trial floating around on the net, fingers crossed it will let me put my key in and activate the full version.0

Major Geeks is a reputable source for downloads
I would steer clear of anything like mega this or that for it0 -
i cant remember where it was from, but it wasnt from megawhatsit or anything like that most reputable sites that had office 2007 trials have (rightly so) taken down the links and informed people to download the 2010 trial instead... useful...
Ive googled the installer name and i have seen people posting on microsoft's support site asking various questions so im fairly confident0 -
The links are in post 30

I still think phoning the activation helpline is worth a shot as it sounds like your license is genuine. If you have previously activated/registered it they should have your details for your key number.

The other option is to run Produkey and see if it can pick out which version you had installed.
