Uninstalling Open Office
I wish to uninstall and then re-install Open Office.
The reason is I am unable to open the Open Office because I have a drop-down box which tells me I need to 'restore windows of open office' and rfe-reghister or something similar.
I cannot get rid of this drop-down and cannot open the application.
I am not very happy at the moment and the iMac (I use) has an application called 'Pages' which is looking pretty good at the moment.
Please tell me how to uninstall open office. I do not have an 'uninstall' icon anywhere.
Helllllp!
Regards
Dave

We seem to have a number of issues related to "un-installation" on all
platforms. We have a number of install docs on the wiki in the
Documentation area, but really nothing on "uninstalling". Maybe time to
create some uninstall docs for the various platforms we have?
Just a thought.

The same way you uninstall most programs on a Mac. Delete the app from your Applications folder.
No need to though. Just follow the instructions on the link I posted above.
