Should I install Office 2011 or Office 2008 [No Uninstaller]

It does fine at removing apps. It basically just searches and finds the same files I used to look for manually. That said, always look at what it's going to delete first, just like you would any other file.

I tested CMM on app deletion and it left behind files that the Finder method found. It's up to you if you choose to use it, but like other apps, it's not effective in completely removing apps in many cases.

You are disputing a point that I did not make or imply. To the contrary, a fair reading of my previous posts in thread [and others on this forum] is that Microsoft Office's flaws play a role in making it problematic to replace it with other "compatible" applications.

If Office-compatibility is not an issue, then I strongly recommend using something else. Quite frankly, I recommend against Office-clone applications in this event because Office needs to be gone. You can't go past Office if all you do is to chase it.

For what I do personally, LibreOffice does just fine. I can open .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx. Only thing is is that LibreOffice does not do the VBA stuff in Excel very well.
