I installed Office 2004 for Mac Standard Edition onto my new Macbook
yesterday with no problem. However, every time I try to start a Word
document or work in Entourage, an error comes up within about thirty
seconds saying the application quit unexpectedly. When I try to reopen
it, the same thing occurs. Do I re-install Office or is there something
wrong with the software? (or could it be with the computer? so far all
other software has worked fine).

Thanks for the help

Did you have the Office Test Drive or a prior version installed before
installing 2004? If so it is necessary to use the Remove Office utility to
remove those before installing '04 - just dragging items to the trash
*isn't* sufficient. If this is the case you will have to run the Remove
Office tool, then reinstall. Take a look at the bottom of this page for
instructions:

http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.aspx?pid=download&location=/mac/downl
oad/office2004/office2004.xml&secid=4&ssid=1&flgnosysreq=True

If necessary, download the Test Drive, install, then Remove it.

After installing '04 (if the above doesn't apply) did you run Disk Utility -
Repair Disk Permissions? Needs be done after any installation/removal of
applications. Try logging out/in if necessary.
