and... if i cant find it sohould i just install the microsoft student edition anyways and hope for no problems?

Sure. Try using Spotlight. Click on the magnifying glass in the little blue circle on the upper right of your desktop menu bar (alternatively, you can click command (the apple button) and the space bar). Type into the spotlight window any of the various MS Office terms, such as Office 2004 for Mac, and any files containing or associated with those words will automatically be listed underneath.
You're looking for a folder called Office 2004 for Mac Test Drive. If it comes up, it's still there on your Hard Drive, and you can click it and then open the Remove Office uninstaller. If it doesn't show up in spotlight, it's no doubt already gone from your system.
In Spotlight, you can use similar words, like Microsoft, to find any related files that might be stored in other places, such as a PDF document called Discovering Microsoft Office, etc. Just drag these to the Trash and Empty Trash.
Good luck!

  • Deleting the Microsoft Office demo

    How do I get rid of/delete the Microsoft Office demo that keeps popping up when I access an Office file, it defaults to it instead of my program.

    Which version of Office are you using?
    My Office 2004 installation includes a "Remove Office" uninstaller in
    /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Additional Tools/Remove Office/
    There is also a "Microsoft Remove Office
    Read Me" file there which includes:
    To remove the Test Drive, on the Results screen, click the Microsoft Office 2004 (including Test Drive) check box to select the Test Drive, and then click Continue. In the Choose which components to remove screen, click the Remove the Microsoft Office 2004 Test Drive folder check box to remove the Test Drive, and then click Continue.

  • I have Microsoft Office 2011 Student Edition installed on MacBook Pro; Can I install Microsoft Office Windows 2008 onto Mac without deleting Microsoft Office 2011?

    I have previously installed Microsoft Office Student Edition 2011 on my MacBook Pro.  While installing Microsoft Office 2008 Windows; message prompts to delete Microsoft Office 2011.  Is there a way around this issue?

    Office 2008 was a Mac version. The equvalent Win version is 2007. So there is no "Office 2008 Windows." Which version are your trying to install?
    Are you using Boot Camp to run Win on your MBP and want to install Office for Win there? I can't see that being a problem..
    I do know that the regular version of Office Mac won't run properly if the trial version is present. The installer is set up to look for other versions, resumably to keep the trial version and the regualr from clashing.
    Office Mac 2011 is equiv to Office for Win 2010
    Office Mac 2008   "    "     " Office for Win 2007
    Office Mac 2004   "    "     " Office for Win 2003

  • Accidentally deleted Microsoft Office:(

    I have a 3000 N200 laptop.  In my eagerness to cleanup my computer, I accidentally deleted Microsoft Office 2007.  Is there any way of reinstallling just Office, without having to reinstall the operating system?  Thanks!

  • Deleting Microsoft Office App

    I have both Microsoft Office 2008 and 2011 installed on my MacBook Pro.  I want to delete 2008 but before I do wanted to be sure doing so would not also delete the documents, spreadsheets and powerpoint presentations I created using it.  Will those still be discoverable using 2011?

    No deleting 2008 will not delete documents, Office 2011 will open 2008 documents.

  • How do I delete Microsoft office from my computer?

    I have a new version of Office for Mac. I need to uninstall it before I can nstal the new version.  How is this done?

    If the app  did not come w/an uninstaller, you can manually drag the app to the trash.  Also trash all its preference straggler files if any.  Or you may be better off by contacting Microsoft for Mac Support  and/or post in their forums.

  • I accidentally deleted Microsoft office and its failing to reinstall

    It says that it cannot creat folder

    iMovie isn't part of Snow Leopard (or any other OS).
    It was preinstalled on most machines or purchased as part of the iLife suite or bought via the App Store.
    You'll need to find your iLife DVD (if that's what you bought) or download it from the App Store.

  • I want to reset my Macbook Pro back to factory condition because I want to completely eradicate Mackeeper which the previous owner (it is preloved) had downloaded. But I don't want to lose the Microsoft Office that she had installed previously. Help?

    I recently bought a pre-loved Macbook which has been sparsely used but I only realised Mackeeper was installed after I got back home. I did a thorough check previously before I bought it but I didnt know what Mackeeper was until I checked it out online. I want to get rid of it completely and the only way to do that is to reset my Macbk to factory mode but by doing so, I will delete Microsoft Office too and the previous owner had lost the key product no and the neccessities to reinstall the software. I have seen others say something about moving it to an external hard drive but I don't have one and I think it would be costly? Please, any experts on this matter come forward and give your best opinions. Thanks!
    Additional info -
    Software type: OS X 10.9.2

    The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    1a. If you don't own another Mac
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    1b. If you do own another Mac
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    2. Partition and install OS X
    If you see a lock screen when trying to boot from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
    Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In thePartition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    3. Other issues
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
    When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information.

  • Microsoft Office Document Imaging File

    I have been using Photoshop Elements for several years. First Version 2 and now Version 7. Using XP64.
    Now when I click on an edited file I get a reference to "Microsoft Office Document Imaging File". I did recently load in Microsoft Excel but am not understanding any relationship to Microsoft Office Document Imaging File. Does anyone have any words of wisdom?
    Thanks
    Bob  AZ

    Thanks for the reply and direction to continue.
    I spent some time trying to determine how MS Office 2003 entered into 
    PhotoShop Elements 7.0. Apparently MS Office gets into whatever it wants to. I 
    tried to delete just the MS Document Imaging but all XP64 will allow is the 
    deletion of the shortcut to MS Office Document Imaging. There are also 5
    other  MS Office applications. The only other option was to completely delete
    Microsoft  Office which would have wiped out Excel as well. I would like to
    keep  Excel.
    So I went to the All Programs option selected by  Start, opened Microsoft
    Office 2003, selected Microsoft Office Tools and  deleted it. I restarted
    twice and then started Photoshop  Elements. In the Edit mode I selected a
    current folder and file,  and the File Type still comes up as Microsoft Document
    for any edited  files. If the file is an original file it comes up as a CR2
    type file. As  usual.
    When I double click on Excel it comes up as usual. Wants me to  register
    after 40 uses. When I double click on a file the image comes up  for whatever
    I would like to do.
    I guess all this is OK for now but it bugs me that MS can get into Adobe 
    PhotoShop Elements and do what it wants to do. I suspect that the opposite 
    is not possible.

  • How do I fix formatting errors in Open Office after downloading Microsoft Office 2011 on my mac?

    I have used Open Office for almost 2 years. I recently downloaded Microsoft Office 2011 and now, not only can I not use Open office due to formatting issues, I cannot read any of my documents that were saved in Open Office unless I open them in TextEdit or copy and paste into microsoft word. Does any know of any solutions to this problem?? I tried deleting Microsoft office but that did not fix the issue. This is my first mac... and I love Open Office and prefer it over microsoft...

    Crabtree1234,
    Try this:
    Install LibreOffice (https://www.libreoffice.org/)
    Open your OpenOffice document(s)
    Do a "Save As" and choose "Word Document (.docx)"
    Then try opening them in Word.  LibreOffice is mostly the same as OpenOffce but LibreOffice has support for saving .docx files.  Here is more about the crazy history of the relationship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice).
    This may or may not help with the formatting as any conversion of one document format to another is bound to cause issues.
    Good luck.

  • May I Safely Delete My Older Version of Microsoft Office?

    I recently installed Mavericks on my MacBook Pro.  Mavericks does not support Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac, which I was using before installing Mavericks.  Therefore, I have purchased and installed Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac.  In "Applications" in Finder, may I safely delete the folder entitled "Microsoft Office 2004"?

    Yes. I'd make sure your documents are backed up first, and keep a copy of the installer in case you need it in the future.
