migrating from home/student version to enterprise

[Kathy Newman]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to completely remove an Office install? I am trying
to replace a Home and Student install with an Enterprise 2007 version and
after uninstalling the H&S and installing the Ent version I still see 'not
for commercial use' in the Outlook border pane.

Thanks.

In Add/Remove Programs, select The Home and Student Office and click Remove.

It didn't appear as home and student in the add/remove programs it was
actually showing as Enterprise although I'm still getting that message in
the top of Outlook.

Uninstall any version of Office you see. Use the Windows Installer Cleanup
Utility to remove any traces of prior versions.

RIght. Since he said pieces of Office 2003 Home and Student Edition appeared
to be hanging around, I thought it appropriate to try the utility.
