i wonder if that's even possible. office is so integrated into the os, that i suspect, unless you do a full reinstall of the os, that you'll never be able to get rid of all the files.

agreed. and it might take less time to reinstall the OS than look for all those files and edit the registry.
also, if you choose to reinstall look into norton ghost. once you create an image of your drive you will never have to install xp from scratch again. just boot up your image and be done in 10 min.
I keep three images. one with a naked OS with nothing installed but the OS. another one with all my programs and settings installed. and another one that is updated every month.
yeah, its a little bit of work up front but it saves head and heart aches later on.
and the bright side for you is that if you wanted to go back to an OS with no version of Office it will be there for you to load in 10 minutes!
i love ghost.
