How do I reverse the activation of Microsoft Office on a computer?

[Mike]

I accidentally installed and activated my Microsoft Office 2007 Home and
Student on a computer which does not need it, is there any way to reverse the
activation on that computer so I may activate it on a different computer? (I
know it is able to be activated on three different computers).

Not really - just uninstall it. You may need to activate by telephone
(freephone number) on the right machine...

I have to ask - How do you "accidentally" install and activate Office?

I was able to move my installation of Vista Ultimate from my Alienware ALX to
my MacPro by using phone activation. But I did this within a few weeks after
installation on the Alienware. And I did have to answer several questions as
to why. The reason why was mainly because Vista actually works on the Mac
and not so much on the PC.

About a month ago Purchased a new laptop and purchased the Microsoft Office
Home and Student 2007 along with it. I loaded it onto my notebook and put in
the product key and it has been running great. Unfortunately in order for me
to print something I have to put my document on a jump drive and put it on
our families desktop. When I went to do that because my document was from
the new office home and student 2007, it would no load on the desktop that
had the version of Microsoft Office that came with the Windows XP. So the
desktop had my load the Office Home and Student 2007 on there, but since the
prodect key has already been used, the Office isn't working fully anymore and
is not allowing me to do some tasks such as printing.

I am just wondering how I can get my old Microsoft Office back on the
desktop because I never deleted it, but when I loaded the Microsoft Office
Home and Student 2007, it doesn't show up anymore because it has upgraded. I
just need to know how to get Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 off the
desktop computer, and how to get the old Microsoft Office that we had back on
there, or if it is still on there.

If I uninstall Home and Student 2007 will my Office Premium 2000 still be
there without losing any documents?

Have you installed the compatibility pack on the computer you are using
to print? See
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...70-3ae9-4aee-8f43-c6bb74cd1466&displaylang=en
for download instructions.

Alternatively, when you save your document onto your Flash drive, be
sure the Save As type is Word 97-2003 which is the older .doc format
rather than the newer .docx format.
