Remove Office will get rid of the registration info, but also removes a lot of other info. The two files you want are invisible. Microsoft Office X/Office/Officepid ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Settings (10) [deleting Office Settings (10) preference file may reset some prefs you have set in Office.] After deleting these two files you will be prompted to enter your CD Key in once again. I haven't tried this but here are the instructions I have for removing the file using the Terminal: If the Office folder is in /Applications, simply launch the terminal and type: rm /Applications/Microsoft\ Office\ X/Office/OfficePID The file should then be deleted. You can type this to check: cd /Applications/Microsoft\ Office\ X/Office/; ls -la and OfficePID should not appear in the listing. Note: Always use rm commands with caution!!!! -- Diane Ross Mac MVP Entourage Help Page <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
