I have the CD for Office 2003 and have just bought a mini laptop which
doesn't have a CD drive. Is there any way I can install my copy of Office
without the CD?

Buy an external CD drive or use someone else's CD drive and copy the files
on the disk to a thumb drive. Then you can install Office from there.

I have to ask: If you know that it doesn't have an optical drive, why didn't
you buy an external one when you bought the netbook? I'm not being
sarcastic. I've seen many people ask the same thing you have and I can't
imagine why they didn't invest a few extra dollars in an external drive for
installing software.

In addition to what others have said, you can also pop the Office 2003 CD
into your desktop CD drive, and share it on your LAN from there, assuming of
course that you have a desktop and a LAN.

Go to a friends house and copy the CD over to a Flash Drive and let her rip.
