It would have been far better to fix the problem when it first arose, instead of perhaps compounding it by adding an upgrade to something that was already not working properly.

The link I posted shows how to do a complete removal. It also has links for doing the same with other Office versions. At this stage, you should consider uninstalling/removing all Office versions, then reinstalling only the one you need.
