Alternatives to uninstalling Office 2007 with add/remove progs?

A trial version of Office 2007 was bundled into my machine , along with Vista
Premium. Although I love the program, I know that I will not be able to
afford it after the trial period is over. I wanted to check out some of the
new features in Office and so I installed it the other day, along with the
Windows Office updates that I'd previously hidden.

For some reason, Office and associate programs are not listed under in my
add/remove progs feature. Does anyone know of an alternative method to
uninstall Office and its' programs.

I'm also wondering if there's any reason I should hold on to the Office
updates that I downloaded -- or can I uninstall them ,as well? If so, how do
I uninstall updates?

Sorry if these questions seem elementary; but I'm really quite clueless when
I'm working with Vista -- I was previously using XP and several Macs, both at
home and at work. But Vista threw me for a loop with some major overhauls
that I haven't quite figured out just yet.


Much thanks in advance to anyone who offers me help
