How to uninstall preloaded trial version of office 07

[Niece]

My school received 2 Lenovo ThinkPads that were preloaded with a trial version of Office 2007. Each time you open any office application it prompts for a product key waring me that after 25 tries it will restrict and shut down. I tried to uninstall using the add/remove button. It LOOKED like it was gone.

Then I downloaded a office pro plus 2007 that I purchased via eopen. When I tried office again, it still prompts for a product key. Then I used the add/remove to uninstall the office assistant. But to no avail, I am still prompted to enter a product key. I know that I can't simply uninstall and retry this because I have already used my 1 license for office plus.

This is extremely frustrating because these laptops are for student use.

Any help would be appreciated
