Use the Remove office tools found in:
Microsoft Office X/Additional Tools/Remove Office

The App will search for available Version. Check the 2011 Version.

Keep the 2008 and Wait til October i suppose.

There was no such tool.

That's why i had a problem. Nevermind, i finally used AppCleaner to remove it and fortunatelly everthing is ok. Back to office 2004 again.

You can already get office 2011 final.

What legal source? No one seems to be selling it yet. I know 'alternative 'sources have it, but I have not seen it available for shipping anywhere legit.

Only for volume purchasers. Not for individual purchases yet.

Beware of following guidance from Microsoft at
http://mac2.microsoft.com/help/offic...a-196a22eaf824

http://diigo.com/0ddib for highlights of what's wrong; the files targeted by Microsoft's guide include some that relate to a version of Office earlier than 2011.

I installed this yesterday (legally, from work) and I dont know if I like it at all. I think iWork will suit my needs. I noticed there is no uninstaller.

I found this link :: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768

Ugh, Microsoft puts crap all over the place.

I wonder if AppCleaner will clean this up better.

AppZapper found 4 items

AppDelete found 9 items
EasyFind found 16 items
Finder found 17 items

2. You can narrow the search to specific folders or search your whole Mac
3. Searching "File Name" vs "Contents" usually provides better results.
4. Click the + button below the search term to add criteria
5. Click the "Album" drop-down and select "System files"
6. Click the "Don't include" and change to "include"
7. Sort by name, kind, date, etc. to identify components of the app, such as folders, .plist files, cache files. etc.
8. Delete all files and folders related to the app.
9. Don't empty your Trash until you've determined that everything is working OK, in case you need to restore something you deleted by accident.
10. A reboot might be necessary to completely remove some apps.

Honestly! Would it kill microsoft to write an automator script and keep it in the application folder!

Thanks for the link by the way , the steps are long as hell (and a pain in the ass), but I feel better knowing that ALL OF OFFICE is gone.

Beta testing was cool but I still think that I prefer OOo.

One thing I noticed was after the removal some pages looked funny online. It was due to the removal of some Microsoft Fonts. I just restored my entire fonts folder via Time Machine then all was well.
