Hi, I'm trying to remove Office 2007 from my computer but with both Vista and CCleaner removal tool, I get a message that one file is damage or missing and cannot remove the program.
What can I do to get rid of Office?

1. Repair the Office 2007 installation, this may or will require the setup discs if you didn't allow the setup files to be archived on the hard disk.
2. After repair has finished try the uninstall again.

I have just been through the same process. Go here and follow the instructions. By the time you finish you'll be able to delete the folder in the programs file safely.

To remove the right click "new" word/excel document go here. Just take a close look at the file extention the new document has - its not always what you expect.

Why can't Microsoft ever just compile those long winded instructions as a standalone EXE file to do it automagically, I wonder. However at least that's the official instructions of removing it when the uninstaller is broken.
