I am far from being computer savvy but can someone please tell me why I can't get MS Office to work and explain to me in user friendly terms how I can fix it? I would really appreciate it. I've even tried holding down the shift key and starting up Excel or Word and it still crashes.

When I click on Word or Excel, it crashes and below is the report that I got when I just now opened Excel and I get the same with Word. Permissions and Disk Repair stated everything was fine and no problems found. Īfter each uninstall, I did a startup from my Install CD and ran Disk Repair and Repair Permissions before reinstalling MS Office. I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it three times using the following instructions from this link as well as read threads with others having the same issue but I can't seem to fix it.

Now all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, it crashes when I start, Excel, Word, or PowerPoint. I have been running MS Office 2011 for Home and Student on my MacBookPro (OS 10.6.8 ) without any problems.
