Can I remove Office components...?

[doowrehs]

Hi there,

Just a quick question I'd be grateful for any help with: Is is possible for me to safely delete the contents of my Microsoft Office folder apart from Word (which is the only app from the suite that I use)? For that matter, would it be possible, just to delete the whole folder and move Word into my applications folder? I only ask because I'd like to have as much free HDD space as possible, but I'm unsure if there are 'under-the-hood' components contained in that folder which are necessary for Word to run.

Advice much appreciated!

No, you need more than just the "Word" application. There are libraries and other such files that it needs in order to run.

Ahh, shame...

Thanks for the reply, though!

You might be able to remove Office entirely and reinstall it from the disc, choosing "Custom" install and selecting only Word. I'm not positive about this, but I think you can do it.
