Office Pro 2003

I had to reinstall Windows XP and lost my Office Professional 2003 so am
unable to use and of my files. When trying to open a file a window opens that
wants the licensing key. I have the original produt key but this does not
work. Any ideas about what I can do?

Can you define "does not work"?

When I insert the product key it is not accepted.

The actual error message that was given would be more useful is solving
this. Also what "original produt key" are you putting in? As in where
are you reading it from?
