Not genuine copy of Office 2007?

[Robert]

A couple of months ago I bought a used corporate laptop with Office
Professional 2007 on it. It has Office Professional 2007 on it. I have
only been using Access until recently Now I open Excel and there is a
popup which tells me this is not a genuine copy of Excel. When I click on
this popup, the functions on the bar disappear. This also happens in Word.

How can I get the functions back?

I payed for this computer and didn't copy anything. I have had it for a
couple of months and have been using Access which doesn't give me this
problem.

Apparently they neglected to wipe their inhouse Office off the machine
before releasing it. You can't use their license, you have to buy your
own copy.

I can't afford it. I payed extra for this machine. How else can I get
Office 2007 Professional.

Microsoft Office isn't free. You could get OpenOffice form
OpenOffice.org for free.
