How to uninstall Microsoft Office trial on Satellite A200?

I have a Satellite A200. It came with Vista Premium but I have since upgraded to Ultimate. It came with a 60 day trial for Office 2007 which I am not interested in. I installed Office XP (which works). However documents from emails etc will start opening in Word 2007. Setup for this causes an error, although it still seems to work when you get rid of the error message.
What I really want to do is uninstall the trial. However it won't let me - it goes through "Preparing to uninstall" and then that just disappears and nothing has happened and the program is still there. In the Microsoft Office folder the 2 versions seem to have become intermingled. I have uninstalled Office XP and tried to uninstall 2007 after that, but still no joy.
Don't know if it's got anything to do with fact that setup has not completed properly.
Any ideas anyone on how to get rid of it?

Usually you should be able to remove all applications in the Windows Vista -> Software settings.
What you could do is to remove the whole Office 2007 folder. Usually the Office lives the files here:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office
Then you could use an 3rd party freeware application called CCleaner to clean the registry!

    Vicky:  The initial question is why do you want to uninstall Microsoft Office 2004?
    If your answer is that you are upgrading to Office 2011, my recollection is that the installation process of Office 2011 will do all of the proper "uninstalling" that is necessary as it installs all of the necessary new files.
    If your answer is that you do not intend to ever use Office again, including any of the data files that were created from it: then at this point, I would suggest that you just leave it alone.  Manually uninstalling raises more risks than it cures.
    Even if you do upgrade to Office 2011, if you have continuous need to have access to your Office 2004 data files, you may find that Office 2011 does not properly translate some of your old files correctly.  I have this problem with an Excel 2004 chart that I access on a weekly basis and it gets trashed by Office 2011. 
    I have solved this problem by installing Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7 in Lion (and reinstalling Office 2004 inside the Snow Leopard environment):

    In this way I can access my Excel 2004 chart, modify it as needed and save the changes.

  • How to reinstall Microsoft Office for Mac after new hard drive?

         Recently I had a problem with my Macbook Pro, and unfortunately had to purchase a new hard drive and have it installed. This also led to the loss of data and other things, such as Microsoft Office for Mac. I know this is an Apple community, but I get better answers here than at the Microsoft communities so I'm hoping someone can help find out how to reinstall Microsoft Office 2013. I logged onto my Microsft account and it says that there is no record of me purchasing Microsoft Office on that account but I know thats the account that it was purchased on, so i cannot get my product key to reinstall it as directed. Someone please help!!!!

    Try calling MS support and explaining the situation, maybe they will issue a new key.

  • Does anyone know how I install Microsoft office onto an I Mac or if I even need it.

    Does anyone know how I install Microsoft office onto an I Mac or if I even need it.

    If you need to write or modify documents made with Word, Excel, or Powerpoint, then you need Office. Otherwise, you don't. If you already have it then installation just involves double-clicking on the Office Installer's icon.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • How do i completely uninstall microsoft office 2011 from my new macbook pro ?

    I've just recently purchased 2011 for my new 15" Macbook pro but was wandering how to uninstall it as I hardly use it and if I do use word processing/spreadsheet/presentation software I'd much rather use iWork and have office 11 on the disk

    Please note that if Office is being removed to fix a problem prior to re-installing a new copy AppCleaner will not do what is needed, it is important to follow Microsoft's directions exactly, AppCleaner does not.
    Carolyn Samit's link is the correct method.

  • How to register Microsoft Office on Satellite A300D?

    I bought my Toshiba laptop A300D in April last. The Vista Premium was already installed. When the pop-up from Microsoft asks me to register the Office facility, or lose it after 19 more uses, I try and enter the Vista 25 digit number that is printed on the Vista Premium sticker on the back of my laptop, and I get an 'incorrect number' message.
    I never have had a CD Rom for office to take the number off that case.
    What should I do, please?
    Jimbo_1

    For you to activate the MS Office Trial Version pre-installed on your computer, look for the Microsoft Office Activation Assistant icon on the Desktop and then open it. If it's not present there, search it on the Start Search. After opening the MS Office Activation Assistant, there is a button there that will say like request for a trial key online.
    It will generate the trial version product key and that is the 25 product key that you need to use. After expiration, you need to purchase the full version for you to use it again.
    Hope this helps.

  • Uninstall Microsoft Office 2013 using Invoke-TroubleshootingPack

    Hi,
    I'm deploying an uninstallation package to uninstall Office 2013 using the ingenious Microsoft Fix it (located here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501/en-us)
    called O15CTRRemove.
    When running it manually, it removes everything that is related to Microsoft Office 2013 and I am able to install a new Office 2013 without any problems (changing from Office 365 to VL).
    The problem is as follows:
    I need to do this silently on a lot of computers using a deployment tool. I figured out how to use powershell and I'm doing it in the following way:
    Import-Module TroubleshootingPack
    $DIAGOFFRemoveOff2013 = Get-TroubleshootingPack -Path "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall\O15CTRRemove"
    Invoke-TroubleshootingPack -Pack $DIAGOFFRemoveOff2013 -AnswerFile "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall\DIAG_Off_RemoveOff2013.xml" -unattended
    I created the Answerfile DIAG_Off_RemoveOff2013.xml in the following way (according tohttp://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2011/02/09/use-powershell-troubleshooting-packs-to-diagnose-remote-problems.aspx):
    Get-TroubleshootingPack "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall\O15CTRRemove" -answerfile "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall\DIAG_Off_RemoveOff2013.xml"
    It looks like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <Answers Version="1.0" />
    When I run the script it works but for some reason, it doesn't work when I run it as system (my deployment tool runs the script as system, and I've tried it manually like this):
    psexec -i -s cmd
    cmd /C powershell -executionpolicy unrestricted -file "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall\Uninstall_Office2013.ps1"
    It just hangs and I can see in eventviewer that it has run a few troubleshooting packs, that the uninstall of Office is complete but it doesn't continue until I force kill sdiagnhost.exe.
    If I run the script after killing sdiagnhost.exe, it finishes without a problem.
    I have temporarily solved it like this (I run the same job twice, to be sure everything is removed and the second one finishes quickly while the first hangs until the timeout):
    Start-Job -ArgumentList -ScriptBlock {
     $DIR = "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall"
     Import-Module TroubleshootingPack
     $DIAGOFFRemoveOff2013 = Get-TroubleshootingPack -Path "${DIR}\O15CTRRemove"
     Invoke-TroubleshootingPack -Pack $DIAGOFFRemoveOff2013 -AnswerFile "${DIR}\DIAG_Off_RemoveOff2013.xml" -unattended
    Get-Job | Wait-Job -Timeout 1200
    Get-Job | Receive-Job
    Get-Job | Remove-Job -Force
    Start-Job -ArgumentList -ScriptBlock {
     $DIR = "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall"
     Import-Module TroubleshootingPack
     $DIAGOFFRemoveOff2013 = Get-TroubleshootingPack -Path "${DIR}\O15CTRRemove"
     Invoke-TroubleshootingPack -Pack $DIAGOFFRemoveOff2013 -AnswerFile "${DIR}\DIAG_Off_RemoveOff2013.xml" -unattended
    Get-Job | Wait-Job -Timeout 1200
    Get-Job | Receive-Job
    Get-Job | Remove-Job -Force
    I am thinking that there is some kind of dialogue questions that I need to get into the answer file, but I have no idea how to do it.
    Any help is appreciated!
    Best regards,
    Simon

    Credit goes to MS for core script (its to long to post here).
    Credit goes to the guy who wrote the cleaner script.  Whoever packaged it and didn't build in silent switches gets zero points.
    Please note that this will only work for C2R installs of Office 2013.
    This is not true.  There are scrub scripts specific to C2R as well as MSI.
    I extracted the scrub vbs from O15CTRRemove.diagcab
    This is what worked for me.  Use 7-zip to extract the entire package to a directory.  Then run "OffScrub_015msi.vbs all".

  • How to uninstall MS Office X

    This may not be the appropriate place but since MS Office X is creating problems for use in Tiger.......running 10.4.7, cannot use word or excel. Selection of a document format causes the program to close. Validated my fonts and all are ok......It's not worth the effort to have it but I want to make sure all the parts are removed. I can't find an uninstaller in the program itself. Is it simply enough to drag the thing to the trash and empty the trash? Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi GRS,
    If you manually put the trial version of Office in the trash, then that would explain the issues with the full version. The trial version must be removed with the uninstaller it puts on the drive. Download the trial version again if you need to. Install it and then use its uninstall app to remove it.
    To then remove all traces of Office X, use the Remove Office program on the CD. It's location is noted in this info from Microsoft's web site:
    The Remove Office tool is available on the Microsoft Office v. X Installation CD-ROM, in the Remove Office folder, which is located in the Value Pack folder. You can run the Remove Office tool directly from the Office v. X CD-ROM, or you can copy the tool to your computer's hard disk and then run it.
    Then reinstall Office X from the CD.

  • How to install Microsoft Office on MacBook Air?

    Just go to MS Office, download a free trial, enter the product key from the MS Office software that you purchased, and voila!  So easy!
    Does this solution work on different versions of software (in this case MS Office)?  I don't keep up with all the releases so the dates are probably wrong in the following examples.  Lets assume I owned MS Office 07 and I wanted to use your solution.  I assume the MS website DOESN'T offer free trials of outdated software.  So, I go on their website, download MS Office 2011 and then enter my product key from MS Office 2007.  Are you saying that will work?
    Personally for me, I don't give two hoots about getting the latest MS Office. So, if I have a working copy of an earlier edition, that's the one I want to install.  And yes, for you NO-NO people, I do remove the software from my previous computers when I do this before I sell them. 
    Even if I could upgrade my previous version, I wouldn't want to as it would be a waste of my time during the learning curve.  In fact I'm paying this penalty now in that I'm using MS Office 08 that my wife bought (3 computer version) and insisted I put on my computer to help her on her's.  I was using MS Office 03 and hate the 08 pull down menus.  Since I use the program infrequently, I find myself staggering around trying to find this and that when with the '03 version, it would be simply click and done.

  • How to download microsoft office?...

    Hello,
    I'm new to the forums, and I just bought my macbook air a couple weeks ago. I'll be starting my first year of university in the fall and I was wondering how I would be able to download microsoft office to my MBA? I was also wondering how I could get the best possible use out of my battery, it currently lasts around 4 hours.
    thanks!

    You will need to buy Microsoft Office for Mac, first. That can be done via this URL -
    http://www.microsoft.com/mac/
    They also have a 30-day free trial (same URL) so you can try it before you decide to invest your money. In addition you may wish to consult with your university's bookstore to see if they offer any savings/discounts on Office for Mac. Many schools offer significantly reduced pricing on software in an educational environment even beyond the "street value" discount.
