Vista Home Premium SP2, IE8

I have a Ms Office Pro 2007 trial version about to expire.
I just bought a MS Office Home & Student 2007.
My problem :
I am unabvle to uninstall the trial version via Features & Programs.
I was given this link to do Manual uninstalling :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928218
But I was stopped at #4 .....

Step 1: Remove any remaining Windows Installer packages of the 2007
Microsoft Office system:
1.Click Start, click Run, type installer, and then click OK.

This process opens the %windir%\Installer folder.
2.On the View menu, click Details.

Important To use the View menu in Windows Vista, you must press the ALT key
first to display the menu bar, and then click the View menu.
3.On the View menu, click Choose Details.
4.Click to select the Subject check box, type 340 in the Width of selected
column (in pixels) box, and then click OK.
Where is Subject ? I cannot find it.

Would it be better if I just wait till the trial period is over ?
Any idea ? Thank you.

Further report :
I have figured out where is Subject. However, the procedures are too much to
handle. I did not go on with the instructions.
I did manage to have the Home and Student 2007 installed. But the trial
version is still on. I saw Both of them listed in my Features & Programs.
When I opened the PowerPoint, it still said " trial ".
Can't wait when the trial version has expired.
Will my Home and Student work then ?

No it wont.
You need to uninstall the trial, using the KB article, and any other version
of Office, reboot, prior to installing your paid for version

Thank you, DL.
One more question:
After the trial version is expired, will I be able to uninstall it via
Features and Programs, or will I still have the same problem. The KB article
is very hard to follow.

If the Trial & Activation Assistant dont uninstall via Add/remove then you
need to follow the KB article - print it out if it makes it easier.
Whether the Trial has expired or not will make no difference
