how to completely remove word 97

WinXPsp2, word 97, and excel 97.

Several days ago I got a BSD with the message "Stop 0x000000ed
Uncountable_Boot_Volume." Rebooting, rebooting in safe mode, and command
line did not help so I used my recovery disk. I have backups of my
important files and I am trying to restore my computer setup to pre error
status. I have used word 97 and excel 97 with win 95, 98, and xp. It works
fine for what I do. So I reinstalled both of them and excel works fine but
word gives me the "application has encountered an error and must close"
message. I have removed and reinstalled word but I get the same message. I
then removed word, ran disk error check which found a few bad locations, and
then reinstalled word. Same problem. It might be a registry problem.

I would like to completely remove word 97 and try again. I found the OFF97
article ID: 254250 that gives the steps to completely remove office 97.
However, excel 97 seems to work and I would like to just remove word 97 if
it is possible. If that is not possible, I will use the remove office 97
procedure, run error checks, and see if a reinstall works.

I do not know what caused the boot error. Everything except word 97 seems
to work.

Thanks for any help and if this is not the correct group for this question,
redirect me and I will post there.

David
