Hi, I am trying to uninstall Microsoft Office 2004 off of my MacBook Pro and I cannot figure out how to do it.

I've tried moving it to my Trash and Emptying it, but it just says that "Operation cannot be completed because the item "US English Spelling Dictionary" is in use." I click continue and it says the same thing accept changes the item to something like "US English Spelling" and so on.

If anybody could help me with my problem, that would be great.

Thank you. :D
 
Reboot the Macintosh and when you hear the startup chime, hold down the Shift key. This will put the Mac in Safe Mode. Try deleting the files you want to delete and then empty the Trash. Once it finishes deleting everything, reboot as usual to get back to your normal desktop session.
 
Yeah, so I go into my Applications, then go to Office 2004 for Mac Test Drive then inside that file I only have Microsoft Word, Office, and Shared Applications. Inside those there is no Additional Tools.
 
The reason that you only have part of the folders, is that you have deleted some of them. You dragged that folder to the trash, and emptied. The items that are left are those that, for one reason or another, would not allow emptying. The others are gone.
So, you could reinstall the Test Drive (from your original Mac restore disks), and then run the uninstaller. Or, you could put that Office folder back in the trash, and restart your Mac. You should be able to empty the trash after doing that.
 
AppDelete. Just check the trash before you delete the files to make sure the program didn't screw up and grab something it should have not.
