I have inherited a Sage 500 (7.4) system and the server has MS Office 2007 installed.  Is this a necessary component of Sage 500 or can Office be uninstalled?  I know it is old, let's not get hung up there.  I am working on vulnerability remediation and the pages of issues with Office 2007 are a huge road block.  I just need to know if MS Office is required in some way, maybe for Outlook to send messages or files?  Maybe for the initial setup using Excel to import data?

Thanks in advance for you help.
