Mac system problem with MS Office for Mac

I fixed my problem by deleting the Microsoft User Data folder from the
Library in my home account. Everything worked fine after that, and a new
Microsoft User Data folder was immediatley created. Not saying that will work
here, but might be worth a try, no?

Shouldn't be necessary, not to mention that the is "other stuff" in that
folder which is user-specific & that doesn't get recreated - it's like
throwing away your wallet & having another magically appear but without your
license, credit cards, etc.

Bob, the only thing I lost by that action were some personal templates that I
quickly re-created. Kind of like losing your wallet to find it again, missing
only a recipe that you you knew by heart anyway.

Considering the alternative--not having the program run at all and trying
super-detailed and massive fixes, archive and installs that had no impact
anyway--deleting the MUD folder was a godsend.

Yeah, I know what you mean - I've been very fortunate in not having to A/I
but twice, but no matter what anyone else's experience may be I've had to
re-install nearly *all* of my software after each one.

It's just that the Entourage database, Office Identities, Scripts, and other
stuff is stored in the MUD so it's not usually a recommended technique - at
least not without also pointing out the potential losses. It's better to
*move* or *rename* it rather than arbitrarily delete it :-)

Since I don't use Entourage, the impact was minimal, I guess.
