Uninstall free version of microsoft office

[roxiemoxie]

Please assist me. I purchased a new computer and it came with a 60-day trial of Microsoft office. I don't want it since I already have a copy of Microsoft Offce Home and Student which I prefer to install myself.

When I uninstall the prepackaged Office do I need to uninstall the Power Point Viewer 2007 and the Microsoft Visual redistributor and Works? Thank you.

When we got our laptop I just uninstalled all the office trial software that was on there and then installed the one we bought.

Was the new install a MS Office Home & Student 2007 and was it installed on a Vista 64 machine?

Hello roxiemoxie, welcome to the vista forums

you should be able to uninstall the trial office from control panel without problems,
if your version of Office has a working copy of Powerpoint included, (not sure what's included in the Home & student Package), then uninstall that too as it 's function is duplicated by the full Powerpoint program.

Works is not a part of Office but a simpler alternative to it so unless you intend to use any of it's home management functions you could uninstall that too.

Hope this helps :D
