How do I uninstall Office 2007 if 2003 & 2007 both installed now

ASUS laptop had trial version Office 2007 installed. I didn' know and
installed my Office 2003. This lead to a MAPI error as Office looks for the
2007 MAPI file. Tried to uninstall 2007 but this caused problems requiring
system Recovery. Seems that when I ununstall one of them the Windows
Installer program breaks and I cannot reinstall or fix 2003.

Q: How can I uninstall Office 2007 Trial version without causing MAPI,
Installer or other problems for Office 2003?

Thanks

If you installed Office 2003, why can't you reinstall it?

Uninstall all versions of Office useing add/remove dialogue, including any
Office activation assistant.
Clear out temp files, reboot PC. Install Office 2003

Thanks Joann but reinstalling doesn't work as Office 2007 remains on the
machine and forces Office to use fifferent MAPI files, affacting Outlook.

If I uninstall one it leaves the other partly disabled.

Thanks Dl however uninstalling one version removes the Installer program so
you cannot uninstall the other program or reinstall Office 2003.

Uninstall 2007, including any activation wizard.
If you are then unable to install 2003, having cleaned temp & rebooted, use
the Uninstaller Clean up utility
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;290301 and reinstall
2003
