Question about Microsoft customer support
My employer sent out an offer where we could buy Office 2003 for $10. So I bought it. I received a software disk in the mail and they charged my credit card. The paperwork with the software said I needed to use a code that I got in an email when I made the purchase. But I never got an email with a code. (Yes, I checked my spam folder).

So I emailed customer support and have heard nothing.

Am I just out my $10??

Any ideas - how else can I contact Microsoft?

Thanks.

2. Yes it's Microsoft
I have the CD with the software on it. Lots of my co-workers have bought it and it works just fine.

3. Get a code from one of your co-workers..
It should work for your disk too.

5. I'm not absolutely positive..
But I've had success doing that with similar programs from Microsloth in the past.

I assume it isn't a trial version, but if so, there's this:

Did you check with the person at your job who provided the offer?
