    Well, if you bought it, you should have a cd for it with a keycode, so you can just reinstall it from that after a reformat...

    there is no limit to how many times you use the cd key. As long as you dont use it on more than one computer. you can actually use it on more than one computer if you dont register it. so just reformat and dont worry about not bein able to use the cd key.

    If the same key was registered within a certain time period, when you try to re-register you will get a warning telling you to call MS. I have had to do it several times here when a client machine goes down. Not a big deal at all. They ask you a few questions, and give you an activation code. Takes maybe 10 minutes to do over the phone. If you registered your copy of office more than 6 months ago, the internet registration should go right through without a problem.
