I purchased and activated Microsoft Office Home and Student Edition 2007.
But, Outlook remains as a trial version (now expired). How do I convert it.
The product key used to activate Office indicates as invalid when I try to
use it to convert Outlook.

H&S does not contain Outlook
Since it appears you installed H&S without first uninstalling the Office
trial version installed. Use the Add/Remove programs feature to uninstall
all versions of MS Office found, including any Activation Assistant, once
done, reboot, then install H&S

In addition to what DL said, if you want Outlook, you will need to purchase
a standalone version. Amazon.com offers a great deal and free shipping.
One caveat is that the integration with Office will be lacking (no themes,
etc.)
