Re-install Office

Follow these steps to reinstall:

1. Launch the Microsoft Autoupdater (MAU). To launch MAU, you can open any Office application and select "Check for Updates" under Help in the Menu bar. Once MAU is launched, select "Keep in Dock" See screenshots below.
2. Quit all Microsoft applications (Easy way: log out/in with Shift key down to disable any startup items.) Quitting all applications before running updater results in fewer problems. IMPORTANT
3. Drag the Microsoft Office 2008 folder to the Trash.
4. Empty Trash
5. Reinstall Office 2008 from your original installation disk.
6. Restart
7. Update to 12.1.0 (newer DVDs come with 12.1.0 installed so you can skip this step)
8. Restart (restarting before you launch any app is important!)
9. Update to latest combo updater (currently that is 12.2.3 Nov 10, 2009)
10. Restart

Check this file after updating to 12.1.0 to be sure it is version 2.2.0.
