I've been using Office 2008 for the last few days, without major problems. Since yesterday I can't start up Word & Entourage anymore. I've tried deleting the preferences as suggested elsewhere in the forum, but no joy. The error I receive is the following:<br>

Lots of things have been suggested. It's always best to describe what you
did use. You might have missed something.

Hi Tony:

Repeating an announcement put into the Word group by Beth Rosengard:

Microsoft has confirmed that a *possible* cause for Word 2008 crashing on
launch (or quit) is the presence of preference files from previous versions
of Word. If you have this problem, try one of these workarounds:

1. Quit out of all versions of Word and trash (or rename) all Word
preference files *prior* to Word 2004:

Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Word Settings (10)

HD/OS 9 System Folder/Preferences/Microsoft/ Word Settings (9)

HD/OS 9 System Folder/Preferences/Microsoft/ Word Settings (8)

2. Hold down the Shift key when launching Word. (This bypasses the First
Run Update process so Office doesn't go looking for previous version
preference files.) Unfortunately, this tells Word not to load any prefs at
all ­ even Word 2008 prefs ­ and you will need to do this on every launch,
so it's not a long-term workaround.

Hope this helps
