Default Manually Uninstall Office XP

How can I manually uninstall Office XP? It is not listed in Control Panel
under Add/Remove programs. All help appreciated.

Insert your Office XP CD in the drive and select the uninstall option.

I don't have an uninstall option that I could find, although I've seen this
feature in Office 2003.

I don't see an uninstall option for Office XP. I was reading up on this
article and it sounds a little intimidating in terms of potentially messing
up my system. Have you ever tried the CleanUp utility? Is it complicated?

no it's not complicated. install it, it will be in the programs menu. Open
it and you will see Office XP there, click and uninstall. Then it won't be
on your system anymore

Not exactly...

It is relatively easy to use, but it will not uninstall Office. Registry
entries related to Office XP setup will be removed, but Office XP will not
be removed from your system.

I would re-install it, then remove it from Add/Remove Programs in the
Control Panel.

If you are unable to re-install it, run the cleanup utility, then re-install
and uninstall Office to remove it. Sounds like a lot of work, but it's
probably the cleanest way to do it.
