Default Lost MS Works installation CD

Bit of a long shot this, but does anyone have an installation CD for Microsoft Works 8.0?
I just need a copy as the original is lost (OK thrown away ), but is required by an update to an existing installation.
A spare or a copy is fine, no product key required, just the actual media.

Finally: gone, but not forgotten.....
1998 D2 PF S8. AgateGrey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors.
e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)

And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

Many thanks for the offer but it does have to be v8.0 I'm afraid, to repair an existing installation.

Not a direct answer but if you can't get the disk you require and you have documents you created in MS Works you need to access, LibreOffice, a free open source office suite reports it can open MS Works format.

Yes indeed, that sort of solution is one fallback.
(There are many others I'm aware of; to save people speculating it's a more complex problem than is worth explaining here, the CD is just the "easy" option - not least because the PC in question isn't readily accessible by anyone with PC skills, such as me! )

If nobody can assist, there's OEM 8.5 on ebay for not much money

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Microsoft-...item4d065056a7

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Microsoft-...item415694e5a1

I'm sure a browse of file sharing sites will turn up a copy of 8.0 if your happy to go that route? Don't think I know anyone that uses Works, unfortunately!

Thanks very much for looking folks, but sadly ONLY v8.0 fits the bill.

I do have other solutions so please don't put yourselves out.
