problems reinstalling Office 2007 Small Business CS 10/28/2008 2:24:00 AM Office 2007 Small Business came preinstalled on my computer. I did not recieve disks - just the product key. I am having issues with Word, Excel and Outlook, so I removed Office and installed the trial version. Now, I cannot activate the trial version using my product key. Why? p.s. I installed Office on a second machine using the product key, which makes a total of two installations.
