microsoft office for mac

[roymezger]

I downloaded the trial version to my emac G4 and later decided that I
preferred openoffice. I dropped the trial version in the trash, but
some part of it lurks in my computer. When I receive an attachment in
powerpoint format, and I try to open it, a message pops up to tell me
that my version of microsoft office for mac is expired. This somehow
prevents my open office from opening the attachment. In my "missing
manual" it says that there may be a file under "home -->preferences
that I should also delete. I have spent hours looking, and can't
access this file. Is there a trick? Is there any way to make
microsoft get out of my computer?

The easiest and most thorough way to remove Office Test Drive is to run the
Remove Office Utility

Here are the steps listed in the link above:

1.. Make sure you are logged on as an administrator. See Mac Help for
information on logging on as an administrator.
2.. Quit any Microsoft Office programs that are running.
3.. In the Finder, click Applications, double-click the Microsoft Office X
folder, and then double-click the Remove Test Drive icon.
4.. Click Remove.
I suggest downloading the Office Test Drive to get the Remove Office
Utility, then run the utility to remove Office Test Drive completely. You
can find it at the this link:
