I installed Office2007 Enterprise on my new Windows 7 laptop from the
disk, ignoring the fact that it came with a 60-day trial of Home &
Student. Now it seems as though it somehow glommed onto the presence
of the trial version somewhere on the hard drive (I didn't click on
the Trial icon, and I haven't gone on line -- because the wifi network
connection thingie is demanding a "security code," whatever that is,
before it will connect to a network) and says "non-commercial use" in
the title bar.

Is there some way to make that go away?

(I didn't try opening some component that isn't in Home & Student to
see what happens.)

Maybe someone has come up with another method (probably changing
something hidden in the registry), but the only way I know of is to
completely uninstall both versions and then reinstall Enterprise.

If that's too much work, you can just ignore the title bar. It doesn't
actually prevent you from doing anything.

But I'm not clear why he'd be seeing this with a combination of trial
version and Enterprise version since the only version that displays that is
the Home and Student Edition. I would be inclined to make absolutely sure
that the edition purchased as "Enterprise" is actually what it claims to be.

It has all those extra components that I never use ... it's been
unproblematic over here on the desktop for a year and a half ...
