We've been seeing an odd behavior in Word and Office that started
happening a while ago.  It is consistent across patched Office 2004 on

I can't seem to remove test drive.  I have seen some previous posts, so
I tried to Repair disk Permissions first, then ran Remove Office from
the folder called Office 2004 for Mac Test Drive.  It searches for
files to remove, but the  results are blank, and all it will do is

I recently bought a new MacBook Pro and tried to install Office x. I
