While freeing disk space, I accidentally deleted MS
Office. IT IS NOT IN THE RECYCLING BIN. Does Anyone know
how IO can retrieve it or download a copy without paying
for it again?

Uhm. Well, you should reinstall it from the installation media you have.

In order to reinstall Microsoft Office, you'll need to use the
Microsoft Office installation CD.

Well, unless you "borrowed" the program from a friend, put the CD in the
drive and reload the program!

Greetings --

Reinstall it using the CD from which you initially installed it,
of course.

Can you still run Microsoft Office programs? If you can, you may
have deleted the Microsoft Office Administrative Install Point on
your hard drive which is used to install Service Packs for the
Professional Edition. Those files show up in the Disk Clean
utility. It is pretty hard to delete an entire office suite by
accident.

Remove all of Office and then Reinstall it again.
Otherwise see http://www.microsoft.com/technet and look in Knowledge
Base for issues with Office or try 'Office' newsgroups if you have
problems.
