Uninstallation of V.x after install of 2004

[morris.tranen]

After doing a complete erase and reinstallation of OS X on my G4, I
learned that I could not install my upgrade of Mac Office 2004 without
my previous version of office installed on the machine.
I did, I have, and it's done.
Now I have 2 versions of Mac for Office installed on my machine.
Can I now uninstall the previous copy?
and if so...HOW?

Thanks in advance,
Morris

Yes, you can uninstall the previous copy. Do so by using the "Remove
Office" tool, located in /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Additional
Tools/Remove Office/. You can then choose to remove a previous version of
Office.

Note that after this is complete, you may still need to drag the old
Microsoft Office folder to the Trash and empty it.

Mickey fixed the problem, but please all note: you shouldn't need to
install Office X to use an upgrade copy of Office 2004. Others report that
it works fine to just point the upgrade installer at the Office X CD in the
cd drive, when installing and asked to verify that you own a previous
version.
