If you mean a Microsoft Office 2003 CD..

If you have it installed (and thus are trying to update and it asks for the
CD) - you should have a CD. If you do not - then it is likely you have lost
it. Find it or buy it again.

Dear Amatuer Computer User ,
you may contact Microsoft in your country or local area and ask them to send
you a CD with the trial of the Office.I am absolutely sure it is available

Thanks, that's a very good possibility and I didn't know about the free
trial. However, unless the OP comes back with a good post so we can all
stop guessing, we'll never know.

Hi again .Glad to hear.

If you are interested ,here is the link for the trial of MS Office 2003
Standart Edition.
If you install it note that the provided licence key give you the change to
use the product for 90 days even though it is written 60 day trial on the
web-page.

I believe MS Office is too expensive but the trial is good way to start.

I used CrossOver Office a number of years ago with Office 2000 and it
worked very well. However, since OpenOffice has matured and I don't do
anything very fancy with my word processor and spreadsheet programs,
I've been happy with OO ever since. I do have Office 2003 installed on
some of the Windows machines and it looks very nice.

Best regards,

Malke

You can't legitimately download it, anywhere.

1) Go to store/shop that sells used, obsolete computer software.

2) Purchase the Microsoft Office suite (either Pro or Standard) that
meets your needs.

3) Return home.

4) Insert installation CD in PC's CD drive and follow the on-screen
prompts and instructions to install application and desired additional
features.
