Note After you complete the following steps, you may have to reinstall
earlier versions of programs that use the shared components that Microsoft
Office uses. For example, to use any of the programs included with Microsoft
Visual Basic 6.0 or Microsoft Publisher, you may need to reinstall these
programs before you can use them again.
To remove Microsoft Office
from your computer, follow these steps:
| 1. | On the Start menu, point to
Settings, and then click Control
Panel. |
| 2. | Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
In the list of installed programs, click Microsoft Office
2000, and then click Remove. If you installed
Microsoft Office from a CD-ROM, you are prompted to insert CD1. |
| 3. | If you are prompted to restart the computer after Setup is
completed, restart the computer. |
| 4. | Using Windows Explorer, delete the following folders and
their subfolders.
Note Before you delete the Microsoft Office folder, make sure that you
do not have other programs, such as Microsoft Project or Microsoft Publisher,
installed in the Microsoft Office folder. If you delete the Microsoft Office
folder, you may need to reinstall these programs.
Note Deleting the Microsoft Office folder also deletes the Program
Files\Microsoft Office\Office\XLStart folder, which may contain personal files.
Ensure that all personal files are removed from this folder before you delete
it. Also, deleting the Microsoft Office folder deletes the Program
Files\Microsoft Office\Templates folder, which may contain personal templates.
Ensure that all personal files, including custom macros, are removed from this
folder before you delete it.
