That wasn't a spat in IT admin terms.
Just a mild teddy out the pram moment between 2 folk that operate in different perversions who have common knowledge and slightly different prespectives on the same theme.
No admin passwords were changed or MAC address banned from accessing the network. So it was an amusing teddy bear chuckling session nothing more.
A real spat involves tech libary CD's getting used as lethal throwing weapons and server room emergency pocket air bottles getting inserted where the sun doesn't shine.

You calling me perverse?
Come, venture into my halon-protected server room. There's not many of these around any more. Fancy a light?

Any one that has delt with DNS bind for 2 years and who proberly doesn't have to open the book everytime they edit the files complies with the full dictionary definition of pervert.
Yep thankfully those days are gone now. Working in a smelly room with aload of mainframe sandle cord wearing perverts who all seemed to have irritable bowel syndrome. Their bowels might not have irritated them but they sure as hell irritated everyone else.

Shave off beard, cut hair short, burn the sandals, give the red jumper to charity (if they'll take it), throw out the cords...

........to cut a long story short, the Netbook in question went back to Samsung who kindly did a 'Full Reinstall'. I think that has fixed it. Hence, everything is gone! No problem - the work was all backed up to a stick; the only thing I can't now fix easily is to reinstall Office 2003. The disc and key are long gone.
My question is, I have the same Office 03 on my trusty dell laptop. Is it possible to retrieve the key from there and to then download Office 03 from somewhere?
I guess the other 2 options are to buy Student Office 08 or 10, but there are compatibility problems with Office 03, I believe; or to use Open Office - are there any compatibility between Office 03 and Open Office - particularly in Word?
Any ideas please,
Many thanks

(however, yet again a free app when I last looked has morphed into a "gimme cash" app. Despite that, you should only need the free one to find an Office 2003 key).

Personally I haven't had any problems with open office. But i wouldn't say i was a high powered user.
I use both the word and spreadsheet to open and produce stuff and have never had issues with other people not being able to open the document.
