BACK TO OP! (not shouting, just speaking loudly!)
Just do exactly what you suggested in your original post. Copy your Office 2003 CD to any external storage medium you like: a USB thumbdrive, a portable hard drive, or an SD card.
Plug that into your new computer. Open that directory. Toward the end of a long list of files, look for <>. Click on that, and Bob's your uncle. There will be a place to enter the key during the install.
Works for me on an ASUS running Win 8.1 64bit. Ignore all this other rubbish about changing to Open Office, or switching to a newer Office or buying something else. We like our Office 2003, and we're sticking to it!
OP HERE. THANKS FOR THE GOOD ADVISE. Not shouting either. Have copied your instructions. Will do this when the new computer arrives.
I copy all my install disks to a hard drive -- you never know when you need it!
