Remove Office XP completely?

C

corruptdisc

Any body know of a procedure to totally uninstall OfficeXP?
This information seems to not exist in the MS Knowledge base.

I am having several problems with Office XP and would like to do a
completely fresh install. However, when I do this using the CD the
errors keep coming back, along with old user data like recently used files.
Mail merge with labels fails anytime I use postal barcodes, and Arabic
text samples appear in the Reveal Formatting task pane. I have re-set
the Language to English to no avail.
I have deleted all the folders that seem to involve Office, but there
are many and in many places.
Using Windows XP Pro, Office XP Pro.

Thanks for any INfo....

Thanks for the help. This utility did allow me to remove and then
reinstall Office XP and this time it did repair the problem areas.
However, recently-used-file lists and old non-existent Excel Macros were
still listed in Word and Excel. So although I fully uninstalled,
removed folders and all other files that seemed at all associated with
Office, then ran the utility, some files are apparently stored elsewhere
or some entries are left in the Registry.
I even installed Office on a new computer that had never had Office. I
then noted all the new files that were created that day and deleted them
during my uninstall.
