Use an external DVD drive, use DVD sharing from a networked computer, or download it from Microsoft and activate it with your product key

You can download the ISO image from the Microsoft site, and simply mount it (ie. double click it) and install as if you were using a .dmg file.

For me, my university offers microsoft office free to students with a Mac. I just took my air in and they loaded Microsoft Office via USB in about 5 minutes.

Check to see if your college has this program, I know most do.
