    I recieved my new Think Pad, the mighty W500. I'm setting everything up. last year I bought a student copy of Office 07 Professional Plus. I was going to uninstall that from my old notebook and put Office 2003 on it (it's going to my Dad). Lenovo obviously includes one of those trial things preinstalled but low and behold it has the entire suit I had. I was wondering if I could just enter my key from the Student package and not have to go to all the trouble of installing the suite again.
