Word, Excel And Powerpoint Crash When Opening

Hi,

I have been working in OS X (10.2.8), on a G4 with Microsoft Office vs. X for a couple of years with virtually no problems (once in a while Word would crash if I tried to open a file from Mail, otherwise all has been fine). Suddenly my Word, Excel and Powerpoint all crash when opening with the "suddenly quit" error message. This started right after I tried to open a Word file from Mail that gave me a "corrupt" message. Now I can't open any of the three programs for more than a couple of seconds before they crashe--when I had just been working with Excel with no problem.

I have reinstalled office, run disk doctor, updated office---nothing works.

Help, please!

Have you taken the preferences file out?

What about Repairing permissions? (I always do this after every install of any software.)
 
I'm having a similar problem (I just posted somewhere else) and removing the preferences file out seems to have fixed it.

But just in case, how do you repair permissions? I'm helping a friend with a Mac and have no knowledge of Mac OS X...

cheers
