Can Microsoft Word & Excel be copied?

I just bought a new PC, my old PC had Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Power Point) on it, I don't have the data CD to install on my new PC.

Do you know if there is any way I can copy at least Word & Excel to my new PC from the old one?

Thanks for help!

    Nope, you have to install it again. Try Open Office, this is a better, free alternative to Microsoft Office (which is not free). It has Word and Excel programs.

    The answer is "Yes" to all of them, but there are different ways to go about doing it. You can "insert" an Excel table into a Word document. You can also "link" to it, so any changes you make in Excel show up in Word, or you can copy and paste it directly. Basically all of the Microsoft Office products were designed to work together so if you can't figure out how to do something, ask because chances are there is a way.

    You need an original CD to copy the program. Ask a friend for the cd, and copy it. Or just use his cd to install it in your pc.
