I've been trying to activate PowerPoint for a while and it keeps telling me I
have an invalid Product Key. I have Microsoft Office Basic Edition 2003. How
can I activate it? I've been trying the product key that I have for a while
now and I haven't mistyped anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Most versions of Office 2003 have a key that looks like five clusters of five
numbers/letters each:

XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

Sometimes there's also a product ID or other number; make sure you're not using
that instead.

Basic Edition came with your PC, I assume; I don't think it's available as a
normal retail purchase. You may have to contact the computer manufacturer for
support with this one
 
Are you trying to use the Office Basic key to activate PPT? That won't work.
Office Basic for 2003 didn't include PPT. If you want to add PPT, you need
to purchase it separately.

Sorry Bevin, ignore my earlier post. Kathy's right.
