Hi there, I am at my wits end.
And will really appreciate the help! I have changed over to another iMac and put in my details as the USER. Now none of the office programmes work - Word, Powerpoint, excel etc. For days now I have done everything from reinstalling Office (with my last available access key which is now wasted) to repair disk permissions and followed all the help on so many threads and help forums thinking what worked for them would work for me - removing this file and that plist and this and that cache and so on. To no avail. When I tried a test user account - it worked but I simply don't know how to migrate all my work and programmes to the new test user account. I'd prefer to fix the current user account. It also works (office loads) when I restart in safe mode. Below is the report from Word when it says it had to quit:
