I had missed it, but thanks to you, I have read it now. So I can assume the 1(888)652-2342 number is still working? Google had given me lots of supposed activation phone numbers previously, not a one actually working, which is why I asked. Has anyone here successfully used it recently?

From what I read in the link, it looks like Word 2003 (the only useful part of Office) is compatible with Win 7 Pro, so that part of my post is answered. Thanks! The computer shop has been on about Office 2007, and made it sound like Office 2003 would not install.
