Here are some situations when you'd probably like to remove all traces of Microsoft Office 2007:-
a.) When you un-install Office 2007 in order to downgrade to Office 2003
b.) When you un-install Office 2007 in order to upgrade to Office 2010 ProfessionalPlus
c.) When Office 2007 fails to show up on the 'add remove' list of installations
d.) When a 'Repair' or 'Re-install' fails to recover a corrupt copy of Office 2007
e.) When for some reason or the other you may have un-installed Office 2007 and need to remove all leftovers

This is not an alternate method of Un-Installation. It's purely meant to assist you if you need a laundry job when the conventional methods have failed you.

This guide leads you through the procedure of purging Office 2007 of any flavor manually and completely from your system:-
01.) Login to an user account with Administrator privileges and go to the 'C:\Windows\Installer' directory to change the following folder settings:-

View ----> Details
Sort ----> Subject

Now, your 'Installer' folder will look somewhat like this:-

02.) Right click on every .msi that ends with '2007' in the 'Subject' and then 'Uninstall'

03.) Run the Services.Msc prompt, (Start ---> click Run ---> type Services.Msc) scroll down to double click the 'Office Source Engine' and stop the service if it is running,

NB:-
Some of the following Folders / Files / Registry Keys may not be present due to having been already deleted by your previous attempt at un-installation via conventional methods:-

05.) Go to the 'C:\Program Files' directory and delete the 'Microsoft Office' folder

06.) Enable 'Hidden files and folders' from your 'Folder Options' under the Control Panel. On the root folder of each hard disk drive, open the 'MSOCache' folder.
