I went ahead and got a second mortgage on my house so I could by Office
Professional 2007. I installed it on my main computer, registered it and
activated it. I was reading the license agreement. Does it say that I have
the rights to install it on a main computer AND a portable device. So is it
legal if I install it on my laptop too?

If your license says that and you are the sole user, then yes.

Ok, I know this will sound stupid, but you say "If your license says that".
Don't all the licenses say the same thing? I had downloaded the trial version
and then purchased the license when the trial was over. Would that license be
any different than one bought in a store or something?

No, licenses vary. OEM, academic, Home and Student, Home Use, etc -
different rules.
