Install or remove individual components in Microsoft Office

If you originally installed your Microsoft Office program from a network file server or from a shared folder, you must install or remove components from that location. If you installed your Office program from a CD-ROM and you've mapped your CD-ROM drive to a new drive letter since installing the Office program, reinstall from the CD-ROM. If you're running any Office program files from the CD-ROM, you must uninstall the Office program and then reinstall it from the CD-ROM.

  1. Quit all programs.
  2. Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon in the Windows Control Panel.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • For Windows 2000 and Windows Millennium Edition:

    If you installed your Office program as part of Microsoft Office, click Microsoft Office in the Currently installed programs box, and then click the Change button.

    If you installed your Office program individually, click the name of your program in the Currently installed programs box, and then click the Change button.

    • For Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0:

    If you installed your Office program as part of Microsoft Office, click Microsoft Office on the Install/Uninstall tab, and then click the Add/Remove button.

    If you installed your Office program individually, click the name of your program on the Install/Uninstall tab, and then click the Add/Remove button.

  4. Follow the instructions on the screen.
