    No Office Product Key comes with your Computer unless you buy Office separately.

    http://store.microsoft.com/microsoft/office/category/2


    If you have Office (Word, Excel, etc) preinstalled on your Computer/Laptop that you bought, it is a Trial version.
    You have to buy Office, once the Trial runs out.

     

    An Office Trial usually consists of so many days use, or you may use it “x” amount of times.


    The Product Key on your Computer/Laptop is for the Vista Operating System, not the Office Applications.

    You can buy Office from the above link, or your local Dept/Computer store.

     

    Or, for a FREE Office set of Applications:
