If you think that the IBM PC is less then 3 years old and it's a corporate standard machine. Then It may have been pre-loaded at the factory with Office 2007. In that case, you can order a new recovery CD from IBM (Lenovo) at low cost or you may also be able to make a recovery CD from the backup partition using the blue access IBM button.

Good luck!.
