This is plenty. These are for developers to decipher, but mere mortals like
us can sometimes get the gist of the problem. It appears the WebCore is the
problem. I'm not sure what this does, so I did a google search. The reports
I saw mostly involving Safari, it appears if you do a reinstall of the
software, it might fix the problem.
I would first download and run the Apple combo. Running the combo updater
overwrites potentially problem-causing files. Combo updaters will install on
the same version as they¹re applyingno need to roll back or do a clean
install.
Leopard:
Mac OS X 10.5.6 Combo Update
(For both PowerPC- and Intel-based Macs )

This might fix the problem with WebCore, but if not your next step is to
re-install Office:
Follow these steps to reinstall:
* Launch the Microsoft Autoupdater (MAU).To launch MAU, you can open any
Office application and select "Check for Updates" under Help in the Menu
bar. Once MAU is launched, select "Keep in Dock"
* Quit all Microsoft applications (Easy way: log out/in with Shift key down
to disable any startup items.) Be sure all applications are quit before
running updater. IMPORTANT
* Drag the Microsoft Office 2008 folder to the Trash.
* Empty Trash.
* Reinstall Office 2008 from your original installation disk.
* Restart
* Update to 12.1.0 (if you have a newer DVD you might only need the 12.1.5)
* Restart (restarting before you launch any app is important!)
* Update to 12.1.5
* Restart
Note: the AutoUpdater was replaced in the first updater so that should
already be updated. If you used "Remove Office" you would need to download
and install the Microsoft Auto Updater (MAU) for a complete re-install.
Check this location to be sure it's version 2.1.1.
The Office 2008 MAU is now hidden away.
/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0
Let me know if this solves the problem.
