If it's the Office "Test Drive" then I wouldn't even worry about it.

Can you burn the Office folder to disk straight out of the Applications folder? Yes. Unlike Windows, apps on Mac OS are pretty much self-contained. No dll, no registry.

Is this legally permitted? You figure that out and do what you think is right.

Making a backup of software that comes with your computer is completely legal, however I don't see how you would end up with a full version of Office.

Check to make sure it's not the Office X Test Drive (which is a 30-day demo)

Then, insert a blank CD, tell it to Open in Finder, and drag the Office X folder from your Finder window to the disc icon you see on the desktop. Hit "Burn" on the File menu, and you're done. It's that easy.
