Is there a way to de-activate or un register MS Office products?

I recently purchased MS Office 2007. I am legally blind and really need to
customize a great many features on my computer. After I installed,
registered and activated the software, I thought, well, surely there is a way
for me to make this more readable. But, I was so wrong. This version is
just not going to work for me. I want to just go back to the 2003 version.
But, I hate to just throw away the 2007 version.
I need to know if there is a way de-activate the software so that I can sell
it to someone else. It is no longer on my computer. After all, you don't
know exactly what the software is like until you install and use it. I don't
like it and can't use it. I want to buy an earlier version and would like to
sell the version I recently bought.
BTW, does MS not test any of these things on people with vision problems?
It might be nice if they did.

As long as you have uninstalled it, and it's a retail version, not OEM, you
are at liberty to sell it to whomsoever you like...

There IS no "deactivation" or "deregistration" process....

I just wanted to be sure I was doing things correctly. I was afraid that if
it was registered to me, someone else could not register and use it.
Thank you.

Thank you.

Just make sure that you give them the disks and documentation and any case
that the software came in. Tell whoever bought the product from you that
they may have to use telephone activation instead of online activation.
Otherwise as Gordon said, if it is retail sell it.

Yes, it was purchased retail, separately from the computer. Thank you for
the help.
