RE-installing Office from Microsoft Website

Curry's wiped DD's laptop when they repaired it but when I took it back to say that Office was wiped too, they told me to reinstall it online.

Haven't got a clue how. I've logged in, nowhere does it say to reinstall. Help!

What version of Office do you have, 2007, 2010 or 2013?

If you have an older version of Office it probably came on a DVD with the laptop when you bought it. If you've lost that you could be in a spot of bother.

If it's more recent, you would have a Microsoft account and be able to log in to the Office 365 website to download.

You can now take out a subscription to Office 365 if you want to throw some money at the problem but I would use one of the free alternatives in the meantime. If you have a good internet connection, Google Docs/Sheets/Slides are good (as are the online versions of Word and Excel). Otherwise LibreOffice.
