Hi Ranulph best way would be to get your Office installer CD (for PC) and copy the files/folders onto a folder on your mac. Use System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing > Add the folder in there as a shared folder and select to share using SMB. While you're in the sharing section, set your computer's name to "iMac" or something suitably simple.
Now that SMB file sharing's on and we've shared out the folder containing the Office installation files, switch to the PC which should be on your network, either wirelessly or wired: Go to My Computer in a window > delete whatever's in the address bar, if there's no address bar right click on the toolbar at the top of the window and tick "address bar", if there's still no address bar right click again and untick "lock toolbars" then drag the address bar out so that it's visible (i hate windows!) type "\\" then the network name of the mac so \\imac > if necessary type in your username and password. You should see the folder that's been shared out there, open it and run the MS Office installer. If you get problems, buy a USB flash drive, they're quite cheap these days.
