I feel like the errors that I'm getting are going to require a clean install, but I just don't want to. But, the issues with Word and Excel are making it impossible to get my work done.

Sigh. I don't even have discs anymore for some programs. OY. #fwp
 
Do it from the Recovery Mode. But do a backup first to reimport Applications, email, pictures, Documents. Just don't import Network Setting because Apple changes the Network stack at every OS X.
