How do I redeem my Microsoft office product code to download it online directly through the website?

I bought an Alienware laptop that came with microsoft student pre-installed. Recently, I had to restore it to its factory edition, however Microsoft Office wasn’t installed. I have the product code for the program, but I cant find where to redeem it on the website to just directly install it. Just a link would be fine. Thanks :)

How can I tell a bad program from a good one?

Every so often a program or an update of one is "delivered" to me out of the blue. For example, this morning I received one from "Microsoft" that claimed to help clean my computer free of unneeded programs. It sounds good but how do I need that Microsoft actually sent me this? Luckily, I have a screen that requires my permission to allow it to be installed.

What program will save all my documents when I change computers?

Every time I change computers there are some documents I can no longer open. Since I have parts of a book on some of these programs I lose anything I have not printed. This time if I used note pad it transfered, every thing else cannot be opened. I went from millenium to Xp. Then Xp regular to xp professional. I have some in microsoft word, and some in another common program ( cannot remember the name). Should I purchase a program or what? The only thing I dont like about word pad is it does not offer much help for fomatting and no spell check, or page numbering. What should I do?
Thanks for the idea on saving them to disk, however I did that and the new one could not read them. Is there a universal program that I can buy that can be read by all computers?

What is a good program to record video with?

I have a Microsoft Lifecam that record HD video and it has the program it came with that has cool effects and great quality. But when I try to record a video with it halfway through my voice changes to a very low level. If I use the webcam on Skype or Windows Live Messenger it works perfectly normal. I’m just looking for a good program that includes effects and will allow me to choose the microphone and all that that is free. Any ideas?
No. Record me. Lol. Not the screen. I want to find a program that will work with my webcam.
