You can't really, office leaves files and registry entries scattered about everywhere, need the install disc.

find a disc and install it, run belarc PC advisor on your old machine and it will pick up all serial keys for software installed on your machine.
Use the key on the new laptop.

Just save yourself the ass ache and download a crack copy.
There's always open office if you have a conscience.

If you don't have the original disc then I assume you never had a legit copy in the first place (if you bought it then you would).
First off you will need to find out the serial number of your existing Office installation - download Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder.
Then you need to obtain a copy of the version of Office that's installed.

File Transfer Wizard that comes with Vista is good for transferring your saved files over.
