Turning Off Microsoft Office 2007

[Guest]

The 2007 Office has been added to each new Vista computer as a trial version.
I have Office 2003 working fine, except that I have to accept or decline the
aggreement every time I open it. That is not the main problem though.
Recently, whenever I open an excel file it automatically opens in Excel 2007,
not 2003. How do I change this?

Uninstall the trial version of Office. How to uninstall or change a program:

It was always my experience with Office 97 and 2000, that it doesn't
play well with other versions of Office. So one or the other has to go
if this is still true. And to fix this, you might have to uninstall both
and then reinstall one of them. This is all I can think of.

Just to add to the answers that you received which were correct here is the link to correct the accepting of the Eula each time you open Office ..

Sorry to barge in but I can't start a new post-only reply to exisiting ones.
So I have the trial version of Office 2007 that expires after 2 months. I
wonder what I will have if I don't subscribe to it? Vista seems to come with
Notepad and Wordpad but I wonder if that will be enough. In Windows 98 I had
Microsoft Word (I think) and that was all I needed.
Currently when I open something it does so In Office 2007 but once I no
longer have this where will they be. On the introduction to Office 2007 it
says I will need to send a "file conversion kit" to others so that they can
view things I create in Office 2007. Yikes, that seems like a good reason not
to have Office 2007.

Well if Word was good enough for you, then you probably don't need any
version of MS Office. If you are thinking about saving money, OpenOffice
is free, but StarOffice 7 (same as OpenOffice, but adds more and is
usually commercial) is also free from:
