No. Your laptop can't function as a monitor for the old desktop. You can network the two computers thru the network port. But, you would need a functioning monitor on the desktop. You can get software that will allow you to remotely control the desktop on a networked PC. That will allow you to use Office software on the desktop from the laptop.
It's easier to just download the FREE Microsoft Office replacement "OpenOffice" from www.openoffice.org . It can do 99% of the functions of Microsoft Office.
Good Luck
