Microsoft office problems

[anon08]

Hi, I downloaded a trial of Microsoft office 2007 but I didn't like it so, I
tried to remove it, going to control panel and keep the 2003 version that
I've been using for years. It seems that I didn't uninstalled it, I don't
know why, but it doesn't allow me to do it, but what happens now is that when
I try to open a word document, a small "Windows InstallerW window comes up
that says "preparing to install", then it asks me for the CD from which I
installed MS office 2003, and I don't have it.

Does anyone know what to do to repair this problem?
What if I unistall both 2007 trial and 2003? Will I be able to do it?
And if I dowload office 2003 from a downloading site, is it very likely that
they pass me viruses?

I hope someone can help me.
Thanks.

If you download any Microsoft product except directly from Microsoft, you
are in all probability violating any and all EULAs for the product.
Microsoft does not allow any supplier to provide their software by the
download method.

Yes you will probably get a virus or worse.
