Will a Microsoft Office 2007 OEM CD recognize a retail version product key?

Nope. You'll need a Retail CD for the installation to be successful.

No, I've never found that to work with any Microsoft products (in the last 9 years or so).

Microsoft has always been very strict with their licensing keys. I haven't tried it with 2007, but I Highly doubt it will work.

I just grabbed an Office 2007 Dell OEM disc, and plugged in my Retail Office Ultimate key and it was rejected.

It might be risky but you can probably find a torrent download of the Office 2007 retail disk. Be careful. Or ask around to your sysadmin friends in your area to see if anyone has one.
