How do I remove the microsoft office 2008 automator workflows?

Hey, first off all sorry if this isn't quite in the right place but there was a lot of forums to choose from!
Basically I have installed Microsoft Office 2008 with the automator workflows and now decide that I don't require them and would like to remove them but I am unsure how to go about this?
I know about the automator folder in system with the workflows in but don't want to delete any as I am afraid I will delete the wrong ones!
Thanks for your help

Thanks for your reply but this leads me on to the next question.. The reason for removing them is to remove the scripts icon at the far right of the top menu bar when an office application is running, I thought uninstalling the actions would remove this or am I completely wrong?
the scripts icon has nothing to do with office or office automator actions.
if you don't want it there just command+drag it off the sidebar.
The reason that it annoys me is because it creates a delay when you quit an office program
no, it doesn't. it makes no difference for office whether the scripts icon is there or not. this icon is there if you want to access some apple scripts. its mere presence has zero impact on speed of anything.
Thanks for your help!

  • 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:

  • How do I install the Microsoft Office, using a disk drive? Do I just insert the Microsoft office CD (the one that I puchased) into my CD drive? And do I follow the instructions from there?

    I'm going to buy a Macbook air soon, so I need to know how to operate some things. Thanks!
    P.S - PLEASE PLEASEE don't give me random info as I am a begginer! 

    Allan is a man of few (but wise) words. I'm going to answer your underlying question:  Apple has a websource just for Mac newbies, found here. If you are more comfortable with a physical book, David Pogue has written a fantastic manual about the  Mac OS - actually two books: one is especially for people who are coming to the Mac from Windows. They are the "Missing Manual for Mountain Lion" books and I recommend one or the other to all new Mac users.

  • 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?

  • Microsoft Office 2008

    hi there - my Brother purchased Microsoft Office 2008 for mac and gave me one of the licence codes, however - the code that I used to register my copy is apparently being used by someone else and so Microsoft Office has stopped working.
    I've now bought my own Microsoft Office but am having some difficulties registering this copy with the new licence codes - do I uninstall the old version? and also is there anyway of 'unregistering' the old version as it is now completely useless...
    Many thanks.

    hi, thanks for the prompt replies!!
    I'va managed to uninstall it fine - the problem is that when I use my new CD to install the fresh copy of MS Office, I never get the opportunity to enter the 'clean' product key that came on the CD sleeve - I presume that this is because my Mac still thinks that I'm using the 'old' product key, and consequently I'm back to square one as even though this is a fresh purchase it still thinks that I have an invalid product key...
    Thanks
    I found this which might be helpful:
    Microsoft Office 2008
    Unlike earlier versions of Microsoft Office for Mac OS X, Office 2008 does not remove its serial number, or "CD Key," when you run the "Remove Office" tool. That tool is still found on the installation disc and installed inside the "Microsoft Office 2008" folder on your hard disk, but it doesn't have the secondary function of deserializing Office 2008.
    Instead, you will need to remove the following two files to have the same effect.
    ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Microsoft Office 2008 Settings.plist
    /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Office/OfficePID.plist
    You may navigate to these locations with the Mac OS X Finder by selecting Go > Go to Folder, and pasting in the following two paths (one at a time):
    ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/
    /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Office/
    Removal of the OfficePID.plist file may require administrator privileges.
    Reference:
    http://www.rit.edu/its/services/desktop_support/mac/msofficeremoveserial.html
    I would then add that you are most likely better off installing NeoOffice or OpenOffice, both of which are close to 100% MS Office compatible and both are free downloads and best of all, they work flawlessly and do not require any keys or registering, etc.

  • 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.

    Well, how about delete the entire Microsoft 2008 folder and get it back from the "Time Mchine" backup if you got one. Did you ever back-up your system?
    It doesn't have to be a recent backyp, any backup from TM or CarbonCopyClone will do the trick. Or copy the entire directory folder of MS 2008 on a flush stick and move it/copy it on a OS X 10.5 machine into the Applications folder like your were before you got the 10.6 upgrade and see if works there. If you don't have the Microsoft 2008 disk or some old backyps or some 10.5 system running you are out of luck. There is no way to reinstall without any of these.

  • After migration to new iMac - problems with Microsoft office 2008 using multiple users

    I migrated my data from my old Imac to my new Imac.  On the new Imac I created multiple logins for my kids.  My microsoft office 2008 programs will not open.  I keep getting the "Customer Experience Improvement Program" screen which cycles through, checks for update then closes never allowowing me to access the program.  Please help!!

    Reference your first post - I download and use dmg files, so either I'm lucky or they are supported.
    I would try the disk reinstall since at this point there doesn't seem to be many options.
    Do you have a backup? You could restore the Microsoft Office 2008 folder.

  • Microsoft office 2008 on mountain lion?

    I have the Microsoft office 2008 installed on my 2009 Macbook pro with osx snow leopard, if I install mountain lion on my mac what would happen to my microsoft office and will I still be able to use my 2008 office on Mountain lion?

    I'm using Entourage just fine, which is good because Apple Mail is almost as bad as Outlook.  However, with Entourage, I had to delete all the preferences files and rebuild the database, as it was very pokey after the upgrade. 
    I'm using Office 2011 apps, and those are fine.  Sorry, but I abandoned the rest of the 2008 suite a while back.... but I just tested Word 2008 and it worked OK... although still much slower launching than 2011, which is almost instantaneous.
    Make sure you have a full backup, such as with SuperDuper, on a bootable firewire drive before you attempt it.  Better safe than sorry.

  • I removed Microsoft Office 2008 but still get Microsoft Autoupdate for it.  I can't complete the upgrade because the application is gone.  Is there a trace of Office 2008 somewhere creating this problem?

    I removed Microsoft Office 2008 but still get Microsoft Autoupdate for it.  I can't complete the upgrade because the application is removed, but cannot make the auto update prompt go away either.  Is there a trace of Office 2008 somewhere creating this problem and how do I get rid of it?

    Thanks for the tip.  Went through the process on Microsoft's site and the files that were causing the issue were the com.microsoft files in Library-Preferences.  Removed all of those, then opened an Office 2011 application; had to go through some basic setup questions the first time, but I no longer get prompted upgrade 2008.

  • How do I remove the pre-installed Microsoft Office software from my T61 running XP-Pro?

    I've reviewed the Lenovo support item on uninstall instructions but it does not say how to get the software off of my hard drive.  Here's the Lenovo item.
    To properly uninstall Microsoft Office 2007 Trial from the Lenovo preload, the following applications must be removed.
    2007 Microsoft Office System
    Activation Assistant for the 2007 Microsoft Office Suites
    Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007
    Microsoft Office 2003 Web Components
    Microsoft Office 2007 Primary Interop Assemblies
    Microsoft Office Small Business Connectivity Components
    MS SQL Server 2005
    MS SQL Server Native Client
    MS SQL Server Setup Support Files
    MS SQL Server VSS Writer
    Uninstalling the Microsoft Office 2007 Office System will not remove all the components.
    Uninstalling Business Contact Manager for Outlook will also uninstall MS SQL Server Components. During the uninstall routine, it will ask to delete the mail data file that contains the Business Contact Manager. Clicking OK, will remove the BCM, but not the SQL server apps, as the uninstall states.
    From this point uninstall:
    Activation Assistant,
    MS Office 2003 Web Components
    MS Office 2007 Primary Interop Assemblies,
    MS Office Small Business Connectivity Components.
    Then remove the MS SQL Server Components of server native client, server setup support files, and VSS writer.
    Then remove the Activation Assistant shortcut from the desktop.
    The first 3 apps listed are not installed because I have not run the activation assistant for the Office trial that came with the T61.  Add/Remove programs has only these pre-installed apps:
    Microsoft Office 2003 Web Components
    Microsoft Office 2007 Primary Interop Assemblies
    Microsoft Office Small Business Connectivity Components
    MS SQL Server 2005
    MS SQL Server Native Client
    MS SQL Server Setup Support Files
    MS SQL Server VSS Writer
    Is the activation assistant one of them?  I want to inactivate it because it is occasionally triggered somehow.  Besides unintalling those preinstalled apps, I want to take all of the Office components off of my hard disk.  
    Add/Remove also has these apps but I'm thinking they are not part of Office -- please correct me if I'm wrong
    Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
    Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB928366)
    Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1
    Microsoft Web Publishing Wizard 1.52
    FYI, I am using Lotus Suite and OpenOffice.
    How do I tidy this up without creating more trouble?  Thanks in advance for suggestions.

    No, AFAIK should be listed as Microsoft Office Suite Activation Assistant

  • How can I remove the BootCamp partition? as the size i created ws too small to install MS Office on 64Bit Windows 8.1 on MacBook Pro (Aug'13)

    How can I remove the BootCamp partition drive for Windows 8.1, as the size which I created was too small for me to install Microsoft Office onto Windows 8.1 64-BIt. The machine which I have is the MacBook Pro 13' inch purchased in August 2013.

    Either use Paragon's CampTuneX to resize it or use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition and restore the drive to one partition. Then create a new, larger Boot Camp partition. This will remove/delete/erase your Windows system.

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