2 Q's -- Upgrade? Uninstall?
Thank you for your assistance. I would appreciate guidance toward any tools,
articles, discussions, etc., that would be of use to me when uninstalling Office 2007, or when upgrading from previous versions. Relatives want some free help. Knowledge of Windows: Expert; of Office apps usage/configuration: Varies, but mostly basic; of Office install/uninstall issues, past or present: little to none. -- Ronin |

2 Q's -- Upgrade? Uninstall?
Roy Q's are too general to elicit anything other than a general response.
Why would you want to uninstall 2007, unless a trial version? I cannot say I've experiened any problems with an office upgrade "Ronin" RepugnantOnes!_EatDirt! wrote in message ...

2 Q's -- Upgrade? Uninstall?
I like to have all the tools I might conceivably need already in my toolbox
before I start the job. Likewise, I like to know about any possible hitches I might encounter, about any possibly toxic interactions that might arise due to the presence of other applications or Windows configurations, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Most especially, I'm concerned about upgrading. The uninstall thing is because I'm very familiar with applications that don't like to uninstall themselves completely for reasons that probably look good on paper but which are very irritating and ridiculously time-consuming for people like me. There are usually tools that allow one to clean up after such "clean" uninstalls, and/or "dirty" ones as well, and IME they are often not well advertised. After a relatively short amount of time working with Windows systems (13 years), I've learned that a day, or even a week of prevention is worth a freaking YEAR of cure. I thankfully have little reason to deal with Office, so by my own standards I'm betting I'm in need of substantial preparation. I've already mentioned the tools again, and when it comes to literature, I suppose I could limit myself to the following list, which I presume to be highly professional and trustworthy, but I'd like a fuller reading list. http://mvps.org/links.html#Office Thanks, -- Ronin "DL" address@invalid wrote in message ...

2 Q's -- Upgrade? Uninstall?
I've never had a problem upgrading Office, if you want a tool, perhaps the
best one is an Imaging app. Some users experience problems in uninstalling the Office 2007 trial, but there is a KB article on manual removal "Ronin" RepugnantOnes!_EatDirt! wrote in message ...
