You could use an external, USB connected DVD drive.
Or, you could use a freeware download instead:

EDIT:
Buying it again won’t help.
It would still come on DVD.
It is also possible to network share a DVD drive on another computer for the purpose, if you have two computers on a network.
You can either use an external dvd drive or download OpenOffice.
You should rather try SSuite Office for a free office suite. They have a whole range of office suites that are free for download.
Their software also don’t need to run on Java or .NET, like so many open source office suites, so it makes their software very small and efficient.
