Mac Forum / Applications / MS Office / July 2007Uninstalling Office for Mac
I got a copy of Office 2004 for Mac for educators. On it is listed three registration numbers and it says that I can register the package three times. As it turns out, I need to return the Mac on which I loaded the Office for Mac, so I don't want that loading of the software to count against the legitimate installs. Can anyone tell me how can I uninstall it so as to retain the option for installing it legally on another machine? > I got a copy of Office 2004 for Mac for educators.

Thanks very much. I just put the disk in the Mac to do what you suggested. But nowhere can I see an option, "Remove Office application on the install disk. I should note that I have never used a Mac before so I may not be looking at this properly. I'm supposed to get this machine back ASAP so if you can help me figure this out that would be most appreciated.

Go to HD/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Additional Tools/Remove Office/, and launch the "Remove Office" application. Choose to remove all of the files that it finds. When you're done, you might need to manually delete the "Microsoft Office 2004" folder to finish the removal.

I see what you mean now. Bob I have recently been having problems with the Educator Version of Microsoft Office 2004. None of the apps launch. Also seems to have affected my Appleworks and WMV program. All other Apple/Mac programs work fine. PowerPoint won't launch, Entourage, Word, and Excel also a no-go. Tried all of the above recommendations and the Uninstall won't work either. Tried disposing of the plist within the User/Library/Preferences/xxxxxx.plists- to no avail. What's going on? Pat If you are using an Intel Mac, then this behaviour is most likely caused by the recent QuickTime update.

It sounds like you've been hit with the recent problem from the latest Apple iTunes and QuickTime updates. If the updates are not causing your problems, post back.
