I tried to install Microsoft Office for Macs, but my product key
doesn't work!

Anyone have ideas of what to do?

My Office disk came with a Virtual PC disk (which I think I can't use
since my MacBook has Intel), and the product key is actually on the
back of the Virtual PC disk. But there is no separate key for the
Office disk!

Thanks,
Matt

If you bought Office Pro (with VPC bundled in) you should have two product
keys - one for office and one for VPC. The key on the VPC disk is the VPC
product key, which will be different to the Office key.

You need to find the Office disk and get the key off that.
