Mac Forum / Applications / MS Office / December 2005Problems Uninstalling Office 2004 Test Drive from Mac
Hi, I use a Mac with OSX Tiger. I installed an Office 2004 test drive, but then bought an Office X and started using it. I uninstalled Office 2004 test drive, but now whenever I try opening an office document (word, powerpoint or excel), the Office 2004 dialogue box pops up and tells me that the test drive has expired, though what I am trying to do is open using Office X. To avoid this currently I have to right click and say open with Office X. Is there anyway I can avoid the Office 2004 dialogue box popping up? Can I open the documents with Office X by just double clicking on that. All help appreciated. Best Regards, Sangeeth Hello - Before installing _any_ live version of Office, the Test Drive *must be removed* using the Remove Office uninstaller you will find in the Test Drive folder. There is plenty discussion on this matter throughout the newsgroups. At this point it will also uninstall Office X, so you will then need to reinstall it. Make sure to use Disk Utility to Repair Disk Permissions before & after the reinstallation of Office X. You should then be in good shape.
