    Dear Forum,

    First post so please excuse if it is in the wrong section.

    How can I ensure that an ODF add-on for Word has been completely removed?

    - Downloaded a Word ODF add-on (Sun ODF Plugin for Microsoft Office)
    - Uninstalled it (apparently successfully) from Add/Remove programmes
    - Under the file menu in Word there are still 'Open ODF', 'Save as ODF' and 'ODF Options'
    - Clicking on these options has no effect
    - No ODF add-ons are listed in Add/Remove programmes
    - Open Office itself is not installed
    - Search of the hard drive reveals these directories which are still there:

    1. c:\documents and settings\user\application data\SunODFPluginforMicrosoftOffice
    (This directory has sub-directories 1, user, basic, standard, config, registry, cache, data, org, openoffice, office, soffice.cfg, modules, swriter, images, menubar, statusbar and toolbar)

    2. c:\program files\sun\tempmicbatchfile (this is the only file in this directory)

    Would appreciate your suggestions or advice.

    Best wishes,

    Arry

    PS: Why was it so much easier to uninstall (ie. delete) stuff in DOS?

    cd DIRECTORY
    del .
    rd DIRECTORY

    programme gone.
