If it's an OEM copy (came pre-installed on your machine), contact the
OEM and ask for another product key. If it's a MS retail copy,
contact MS customer service for assistance.
If all else fails, do a Google search for "word 2000 product key" or
some such.... Since most copies of Word 2000 do not require
activation, you can always "borrow" the product key from a friend who
has the same type of copy as yours.
Why should you have to buy another copy? MS is rich enough.
