Uninstall Issue
I have a question regarding uninstalling open office. I currently want to uninstall it, but it is not showing up in the list of programs where you would uninstall it? The icon is on the task bar, where I put it. I can click on it, so open office is still installed, but why can't I see it to uninstall it?
Thanks
Robert Davis

A private email informed me that Revo Uninstaller worked

Also, if you are on Windows, Robert, you can use the Control Panel to uninstall Apache OpenOffice. There are different ways to find the Control Panel depending on the version of Windows you are using.
On the control panel dashboard, use the Programs (Uninstall a program) item. The programs are listed in alphabetical order. You'll find Apache OpenOffice under OpenOffice 4.1.2 (for the latest release). Select that and click "Uninstall" in the menu above the list of programs.
This will leave some information on your system so that a reinstall will preserve some of your settings. These are benign and should not be a concern.

I have never needed to uninstall OpenOffice from Windows, but the advice I am aware of on the User Forum is that when a complete uninstall is required one can download Revo Uninstaller and use it at its most aggressive to completely remove OpenOffice.
