Default Word in Home Student Version vs Standard

Got a new PC with Vista 3 weeks ago.

Installed the 60-day free trial Office Home and Student 2007 (OHS) version.

Two days ago I installed and registered Office Standard 2007 (OS). No
problems. The installation never mentioned uninstalling OHS so I didn't,
assuming it would all work out. Now I have both installed.

When I had only OHS and called up Word, the opening title read "Document1 -
Microsoft Word non-commercial use (Trial)" After installing OS, the opening
title is still the same. What bothers me is that it is still marked as
"Trial."

My shortcut links in the start-up menu and quick-link tray are both linked
to the new OS.

I have removed all links to OHS that I can find, but I have not uninstalled
it.

Some basic questions:
1. Is there a problem here?

2. Should I have uninstalled OHS before installing OS?

3. Can I expect to have trouble when the 60-day trial period expires on OHS?

4. Should I uninstall OHS now? Will that take necessary OS files with it and
screw up OS?

Comments/advice would be appreciated. I'm low to moderate skill.

Thanks
