    Kindly look for system restore in your computer. I'm sorry if i can't state it step by step because I'm not familiar with mac OS. If ever you found the system restore, kindly restore to to much earlier date and the date you will choose is the date the MS open Office is not installed yet.

    Hope this will help.

    System restore will delete any installed programs depending on the date.

    If for some strange reason that is difficult, you can always do an "archive and install" from the Install CD/DVD being sure to select the option to preserve users. This will keep all your user files and just replace the OS X system files and applications. You should run Software Update afterwards to get your system up to date again.
    It would be best if you did a backup of your user files first - just in case something goes wrong.


    By booting from the OS X install CDs (not the Software Restore Disks), selecting "Archive and Install," and selecting "Preserve Users and Settings" (this may not be the exact dialog wording), I was able to do this in about 30 minutes. The installer replaces your /System and /Library folders, among others, and files the old copies of those folders into "/Previous System". At the same time, the installer recreates the users and maintains the copies of your Home directory, including preference files. The net result was that 30 minutes after starting the reinstall, I rebooted and logged back in using my old user name and password, with all of my settings (and many of my modifications to the system - extra preference panes in ~/Library, for example) intact. The installer preserved any modification that wasn't made at the OS level - down to my customization of the Finder toolbars and my exact configuration of the Dock.


    These are the two things i found out about OS X and i hope this will solve your problem.
