MS Word issue

ever since i upgraded my iMac to Snow Leopard I haven't been able to get Word to open successfully (it worked perfect fine before i upgraded)... I've called tech support with microsoft and with apple... neither have been of help. they told me to delete some prefernce files... but it didn't help at all. The issue i'm having is that MS Word will open but prompts me with a pop up saying "this font was downloaded from the internet... blah blah... allow or don't allow" and it does it for EVERY SINGLE FONT... i've got a huge font collection... and it hangs up in between each one... and therefore i never get in to Word or able to open a document has anyone else had this issue? does anyone know what i can do to fix it?
