I've seen the installer for Office appear when:
- a new user logs on for the first time
- a part of Office needs to be added that wasn't included in the original
install. This is the "install on first use" feature in Office setup.
-an Office program is damaged and needs repairing

If I understand you correctly, you uninstalled a program that left an
office document type orphaned. Perhaps the installer was appearing to
perform an auto-repair?
