    Want to uninstall office 2007 completely

    Hi People,
    I installed Office 2007 sometime ago and uninstalled it. I installed Office XP which is working fine, however, whenever I try to open certain documents, my computer is trying to install Office 2007. How can I get rid of Office 2007, any idea?
    All suggestions are welcome.

    The only complete removal process is through the uninstaller in Add or Remove Programs. There is no additional uninstaller in case it is not entirely removed. You can try to delete associate registry keys for office 2007. Only if you have specific knowledge about it.
    You can install Office XP and Office 2007 side-by-side. Instead, you are free to install just Word XP and all but word from Office 2007, just choose the Custom option instead of Install Now and deselect the apps you don't want from the package.

    If you are having problems uninstalling as uninstall doesn't work then try following steps:
    • Right-click on My Computer and choose Manage
    • Expand “Services and Applications", then select Services
    • In the right pane, stop the Office Source Engine service if it is running
    • Delete the following registry keys:
      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Delivery\SourceEngine\Downloads\*0FF1CE}-*
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*0FF1CE*
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ose
      HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Features\*F01FEC
      HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\*F01FEC
      HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\UpgradeCodes\*F01FEC
      HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Win32Assemblies\*Office12*
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UpgradeCodes\*F01FEC
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\*F01FEC
    • Find and delete all keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall with a valuename of UninstallString that contains a value with *\Office Setup Controller\setup.exe*
