Here is what it sounds like..

You had Office 2003 installed. You then installed Office 2007. (This
upgraded 2003 to 2007???). Then you uninstalled Office 2007 and are looking
to remove 2003 but dont see it in add/remove programs but you do see left
over shortcuts?

If in fact you did upgrade 2003 to 2007 then 2003 is no longer installed and
that is why you dont see it in add/remove. When you click on the shortcuts in
the start menu does it say that the application is not installed or disabled?
If this is the case then just delete the shortcuts.

If I am misunderstanding... try this to remove office 2003. Download the
windows installer cleanup utility here....

Install it and run it.
Look for office 2003 in the list. if it is there choose it and hit remove.
This will uninstall 2003 but again you will have to manually delete the
shortcuts.
If it isnt on the list it isnt installed.
