From the start button>>programs>> and see if office has it's own 'built in' uninstall feature.

Did you set OO as the default program for Word docs, Excell etc??


try looking in control panel>>folder options>>file type tab and change the 'opens with' program

Was it pre installed?  If so it may be a bitch to uninstall.  You need to fine where the setup program is hidden.

What I can do is help you re-associate the files with open office.  I'll IM you my number.
