Want to get rid of Word 2007
I have Office 2007 installed on my XP desktop, and ABSOLUTELY HATE IT !!!
Mainly I use Word. The top section, where one can forat, set-up, save, etc. is nothing but a bunch of useless ... to me ... GARBAGE ... and EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO USE. I previously had 2003, and before that others, and totally regret using this monster. The ONLY thing I like in the suite is Outlook 2007; for it's ability to download several email messages from my web email addresses. My question is ...... How do I keep my Outlook 2007 on the computer if I do the control panel process of Add-Remove 2007? I do not see a way in the awful list that 2007 furnishes when one opens the Remove-Repair option to do this. My goal, along with keeping the Outlook 2007 ability for the emails, is to go back and install Office 2003 Word and other components ... in lieu of this monster of 2007. -- doon |

Just use the Add/Remove option in Control Panel, which will start the Office
2007 program wizard and ask you what components you wish to uninstall. "doonboggle" wrote in message news  I have Office 2007 installed on my XP desktop, and ABSOLUTELY HATE IT !!! Mainly I use Word.

That uninstalled EVERYTHING ... not what I wanted. As I stated, using conrol
panel offers only a total uninstallation; while the Repair-Remove option does not provide being specific selective ... merely the 'Run from computer' ...

Why can't you just reinstall only Outlook? Or, if you wanted to reinstall
Office 2003 anyway, why not just do that? "doonboggle" wrote in message ... That uninstalled EVERYTHING ... not what I wanted.

Want to get rid of Word 2007
When you launch the setup.exe for the Office install, you are given a screen
that asks if you want a standard or custom install. Choosing custom allows you to pick and choose what you want. If you aren't getting this, then you don't have a full copy of Office in the first place. How are you launching the installation program? -Scott "doonboggle" wrote in message ...

Want to get rid of Word 2007
Simply set each thing you don't want to Not Available. Be careful with the
Office Shared Features, since you probably still want proofing to work in Outlook. For starters, I would just mark the undesired applications as Not Available, then click Continue. You can always go back for more if you find undesired remnants. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "doonboggle" wrote in message news I have Office 2007 installed on my XP desktop, and ABSOLUTELY HATE IT !!!

Have seen that ... Not Available with red 'X' ... but have never tested it.
Presume that may be the solution. Will try and see. -- doon "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: Simply set each thing you don't want to Not Available.

Want to get rid of Word 2007
Your reaction is not at all unusual for someone faced with the major changes
in the Office suite. Everyone who has the application forced upon them by employers bitches about the changes. The rest have a trial version available so they can see what is involved before making the purchase decision. Just as with any other new software there is a learning curve before you become reasonably proficient. The simplest approach is to to install both Office 2003 and 2007. They will work happily enough alongside one another while you learn the new layout. As for the ability to download from web mail services - Outlook 2003 can do that too - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...3-7d4870871ecf - though I agree Outlook 2007 is the better product. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org doonboggle wrote: I have Office 2007 installed on my XP desktop, and ABSOLUTELY HATE IT !!!
