If you have any sort of proof of purchase, you might try contacting
product support to get replacement Office98 disks:

If you don't, you may be able to find a cheap copy of Office98 or 01 at
a local mac shop, a college bookstore, eBay, etc.
The combination of the old version and the upgrade *can* be less than
the full copy cost.
