Hi! I had to reconfigure my whole computer after getting
the MS Blast virus...little did I realize that I then
would have to reinstall my Office 2000 Professional for
the Office applications.

Am I just supposed to call Microsoft again to have a new
Product Key given to me so that I can reinstall my
software?

Hi Teri,

If you've installed MS Office and you need to reactivate
then choose the telephone registration/activation choice
to speak to a MS technician if you're having trouble.

If you're talking about the CD key to install Office 2000
if it's a retail version you can contact MS through the
numbers on http://microsoft.com/worldwide (800=360-7561 in the US)
or if it's an OEM copy the PC supplier.
