-
Uninstall the preview version of Office. Go to Control Panel and Program and Features, right-click your Office product, and choose Uninstall. For more information, go to Uninstall Office from a PC.

-
Turn on automatic updates. You can also check for the latest Public Update in Office Updates, to get additional information on other install methods.
