I want to reinstall OS X 10.7.5 and keep the preinstalled office package

Hi,

I have a MacBook Pro from April 2011 with OS X 10.7.5. It has been running a bit weird lately, i.e. it splits the screen into two and freezes, forcing me to turn it off with the power button. Therefore I want to reinstall the software from scratch and see if that helps. I bought the MacBook with the Office package preinstalled. I want to keep the office package on my computer, but I don't have product key laying around.

My questions are therefore:

How do I delete everything from my Mac and Reinstall the OS X?

Will the preinstalled Microsoft Office package still be there when I have reinstalled the OS X?

Thanks in Advance

Jonas

Note that I don't have the installation disc for the OS X either.

So the situation with my MacBook Pro have now escaleted, i can't even start my mac now, only a grey screen appears.

I tried starting up in safe mode, but that didn't work and a blue screen appeared instead.

I also tried to reset the NVRAM / PRAM but that didn't work either.

I don't have any "peripheral devices" connected or any third party hardware installed.

Does anybody have any suggestions to how I can save my Mac / reinstall the OS X without a disc?

And if there's any way to keep the office package? Even though the top priority now is to save my Mac, as I can't afford a new one.

Any help is much appreciated.
