I've found there are settings in (MS Word 2003 for example) Office that can
be very misleading.

Is there a tool to completely uninstall Office (including hidden folders,
registry keys, whatever) so that I can be guaranteed the new Office is
installed with the defaults.

Two simple examples of user settings in MS Word that were not found in the
Normal.dot and were retained in Office 2003 after a successful

Add/Remove | Remove session

follow:

1) Table | Hide Gridlines

2) Draw | Grid | Display Gridlines On Screen


Thanks.

Just run the unistall.

Then Delete al files in the program files folder where office is installed
Then delete the registry keys
That should do it
