WHY CANT I UNINSTALL OFFICE SP3

[Rocketman]

Who was the genius that decided that, even though Microsoft had released an
article with "known issues" for this patch. I am the IT guy for a high end
investment firm - this patch has caused more grief to more people.... If you
cant get it right, at least give us a way to get rid of it if we can't work
around it.

You would need to uninstall office, and then reinstall without installing
SP3.

I have already realized this - however this process is going to be very time
consuming and costly to my customer - we have at least ten computers we have
to go through this with. Maybe there is a way you can make people more aware
of the "known issues" prior to installation so that more people don't have to
go through the aggravation of completely removing the Office suite,
re-installing, and re-patching, in addition to disabling the automatic
updates so that we don't have to go through this again.
