Removing Office XP

[Peter]

The envelope function in Word XP is broken on one of my
machines (running ME). The envelope cannot be inserted
into the document. Uninstalling Office XP and
reinstalling does not help.
I would like to completely remove all traces of Office XP
and try a new reinstall. There does not seem to be any
tool or information which would help.
Can you?

I run Office 2000 but I imagine that XP is similar----Use Add/Remove in
Control Panel

Thanks Eric.
Yes, I know that is the way to uninstall the program,
however, something is left behind (in the registry?) that
restores the problem when Office XP (or Office 2000) is
reinstalled. I need to clear everything left behind
during the uninstall.
