My cousin has bought the Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 and she wouldn't mind sharing it with me to save on expenses. Am I able to install it on my computer without her getting in trouble? Thank you.

Only if you bought a site license with it. Otherwise a normal license is for one computer at a time. If it is installed on more than one computer at a time it is copywrite infringement and you could be charged.

Not legally, no, and Microsoft gets more aggressive with license checking with every new release. One license means it's legal to run it on one computer only.

No, that's illegal: ONE license, ONE PC.
Try the free, and M$-Office compatible, Open Office from:
Included: Writer (like Word), Calc (Excel), Impress (PowerPoint), Base (Access), Draw (M$-Paint) and Math
Just make sure that if you want others to be able to view the documents using M$-Office Word, for example, save them using "Save as..." in .doc format, instead of the default .odt format.
Or use the built-in PDF creation feature.
