Note: Office 2008 12.1 (SP1) introduced this issue. Rolling back to
Office 12.0.1 may also be an option for people who want to do that,
albeit not a recommended one. If you did not backup in some way that
enables this, it would require running Remove Office and reinstalling,
then reapplying the 12.0.1 update.
You may want to look at the extensive description of 12.1 before
deciding on that option.
