    I think you may have a trial version installed.

    Thanks RonnieB, I was hoping I may have finally got lucky. I used the Decrapifier to remove all my "Trialware"....
    Again, Thanks

    It wasn't automatically removed because when you actually buy OEM Office you don't get physical media anymore but just license code printed on a plastic credit card. It activates the preinstalled trial into full version.

    Software you used cannot know if you are planning to use Office, so it doesn't automatically remove it (there's a switch to make it remove everything).
