missionary :
I have a new laptop with windows 8 and want to activate my office 2007 but when I put in the key the reply is that I don`t have office 2013. what now
Presumably you installed Office from a disk which asked for a Product Key? Should just go ahead and install if that's the case. However, if your Laptop came with a pre-installed 2013 version then your 2007 Product Key will not be accepted. You'll have to uninstall the 2013 version and install your own 2007....
