I have 2 (his & hers) new computers with Vista and they came with trial version of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007. I have heard that the add and remove programs procedure does not work when trying to remove this program. I want to install Office 2003 due to the bad reports on the trial version. Being old and dumb with computers I would like some advice on how to accomplish this as easily as possible. It seems according to other blogs that Mr. Gates has made it very difficult to get this trial version off and a 2003 version on. The change over from XP to Vista has my brain scrambled already. Please help this 80 year old computer dummy.

We recommend using Revo Uninstaller quite often here and for good reason. It's free and highly effective.
You can download it here, http://www.revouninstaller.com/

Others have had success with removing trialware with this program, also a free download,

Thanks to all for this info. I will try this today. I had been considering removing the computers with Vista and all its program with a hammer but thanks to the help I have received now and before from this forum maybe I can continue to accept these computers with Vista.

Vista is great. It just needs a little tender loving care at times :)
