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.

  • Deleting Microsoft Office Demo

    I just got my macbook and I do not know where to uninstall the microsoft office demo...i found the i Work and i havent started that demo yet either...i was wondering if i should start it to uninstall i work so i can install my Microsoft office student edition i purchased with my macbook...
    and... if i cant find it sohould i just install the microsoft student edition anyways and hope for no problems?
    thanks a bunch

    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!

  • I deleted my microsoft office:mac 2011 word from my toolbar. I have Mac OS X version 10.6.8.  I tried to reinstall but it won't work. I get an error message each time. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I deleted my microsoft office:mac 2011 word from my toolbar. I have Mac OS X version 10.6.8.  I tried to reinstall but it won't work. This has never happened before.  I get an error message each time. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I don't have time machine. 

    By Toolbar, do you mean the Dock?  The Translucent bar normally at the bottom of the screen, but sometimes at the right or left side?
    If that's what you mean, the Dock is merely a shortcut to what is already inside the Applications folder's Microsoft Office 2011 folder.  If you have Word inside your Microsoft Office 2011 folder, you can drag it back to the Dock.
    If you deleted the Microsoft Office folder, or it is empty, you'll have to reinstall it. 
    If you don't have your registration code, you'll have to call Microsoft for a new one.

  • I cant install the Microsoft office 2011 program

    Hi - I had installed the Microsoft Office 2011 program before and then there was an upgrade available. After doing the upgrade...there was a constant error message whenver I opened any related programs, so I deleted the program files. But now when I try to redownload it, there is an error message to say something like: "the office file is not found on this disk to perform this upgrage" (those are not the exact words). But it seems as though it's trying to upgrade but I want to reinstall the entire [program
    Thanks!

  • HT201341 Does the Mountain Lion operating system run programs in the Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 software suite?

    Does the Mountain Lion operating system run programs in the Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 software suite?

    No, Snow Leopard (10.6) is the last version of OS X that supports Office 2004. You can upgrade to Office 2008 or 2011, or use a free office suite such as LibreOffice.

    So, when you open your main Applications folder, there is no Office app there?
    It's in your Users>Applications folder?

  • Hi, I need the program of access from the office, so i'm going to but the Microsoft office 365 university, will i have to but any other program to use the access from my mac? or to open any database that I will have did from any other computer (not mac)?

    There has never been a Mac version of Access. Microsoft never created one, realising that it was very inferior to the FileMaker Pro database application.
    So if you must run Access you will have to run Windows on your mac.

  • What happened to the Microsoft Office suite when I loaded Lion?

    I loaded Lion operating system last night and rushed without reading all of the fine print. After the Lion was loaded I received a notice that Microsoft Office Suite was not supported. My questions are, 1) Can Lion support the Microsoft Office Suites (maybe a newer version) 2) Can I return to the previous Operating System?
    Never mind!
    Thanks

    1. Microsoft Office for Mac 2008 & 2011 versions support OS X Lion
    2. Yes, you can downgrade to Snow Leopard if you have up-to-date Time Machine backups, however I won't recommend you to do that.
    Over the weekend Microsoft published a knowledge base article that outlines some known issues with Office for Mac on OS X 10.7. Overall, if you have Office 2004 and rely on it, then do not upgrade to OS X Lion until you have an alternative Office version installed (2008 or preferably 2011). Office 2004 is PowerPC code, and as with Intuit's Quicken 2007 and earlier versions, if you install Lion then you will not be able to launch Office 2004.

  • Can the  microsoft office be installed on the iPad2?

    can the microsoft office be installed on the iPad2?

    Fria.
    So you want to view edit and even compose MS Office style documents on your iPad well there ARE ways, several in fact and you should not be put OFF by jbjoret's simple NO.
    True facts are that todate Microsoft have not produced a version of MS Office suitable for ios or for that matter the other leading mobile ios (Android) either, but that's not the end of the story.
    Within Apples ios you can buy and install versions of Pages and Numbers (The Apple productivity suite) and these will allow you to open edit save print email (in a choice of .doc .pdf or .pages formats).
    Third party apps such as Documents to Go work near flawlessly with MS Office documents for creation, editing ....
    What you probably need to consider is how you get documents on and off your iPad and here you could consider Dropbox.
    For viewing PDFs Word and many other files try Goodreader.
    And finally you will need helpers for effective printing (Since Airprint capability is limited to a handful of HP eprinters)
    Here you could try PrintBureau combined with helper App WePrint Server (Both PC and MAC compatible) this allows you to print to almost any networked printer via WiFi using the host PC.
    If you have a Mac also install Printopia to allow printing again to many networked printers. (Similar PC solutions exist as well
    This is a lot of information however rest assured you really can do business with an iPad with near full MS OFFICE interoperability
    I say near because you always risk hitting a few formatting and/or complex macro problems with more complex MS OFFICE documents (these happen even between differing versions of MS OFFICE as well)

  • HT1338 The Microsoft Office 2011 Update that was released yesterday made my Office a non working. How can I solve this?

    How Can I correct the Microsoft Office Update?

    Since this question is about a Microsoft product, you might have more luck getting suggestions if you ask in Microsoft's own forums.

  • How can I change the Microsoft Office Click to Run from drive letter 'Q' to something else?

    How can I change the Microsoft Office Click to Run from drive letter 'Q' to something else?
    We have a legacy app that used drive letter 'Q' already, now the newer machines are coming in with 'Q' preassigned to Microsoft Office Click to Run, and it is causing problems.  There has to be a way to change the drive letter assignment to some
    other letter besides 'Q' 

    Hi,
    Office that is delivered by Click-to-Run is installed on the Q drive, this cannot be changed.
    To work around this problem, uninstall the Click-to-Run version of Office and then install with the traditional MSI-based installation.
    To switch to using an MSI-based Office edition, you can learn something useful from this link below:

  • Is the microsoft office starter program that is on my computer a 90 day free trial

    is the microsoft office starter that is on my computer is a 90 day free trial

    Hi:
    Office 2010 Starter is not trialware. You can use it for free as long as you own your PC.
    It is ad supported software.
    You have the option to upgrade to another version of Office 2010 for a price.
    One thing that is important to know however.
    If you uninstall it, you can never reinstall it.
    If you have to recover your PC to factory specs the program is not included on the recovery partition or recovery disks.
