Hello I upgraded to vista using a Clean install. But I had recently
installed microsoft office on my older version of Winds is there any way that
I can make my copy of office work on Vista even though I did a clean install?

Hi,

No reason you shouldn't be able to reinstall it under Vista. You may need to
use the phone activation method, but unless the copy of Office was included
with the original install, it should be able to migrate to the new OS.

You'll have to reinstall it, but that should not be a problem.
