1. Select a .doc file. Don't open it, just SELECT it.

2. Get Info on it (cmd-i).

3. There will be a pop-up list under the "Open With" section of the 
Info box. Pick an alternative application you would like to have open 
.doc files.

4. Press the "Change All" button.

5. Uninstall the MS Office trial by locating it's folder(s) in your 
Applications folder and dragging them to the trash, and emptying the 
trash.
