Hi Alison,

You need to repair disk permissions and update Office X if you haven't
already.

For OS 10.2.x or 10.3:
Go to Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities. Open up Disk Utility. Select
your hard disk, then click the First Aid tab. Click the button to "Repair
Disk Permissions".

To update, download (<http://www.microsoft.com/mac/download/#OfficeX>) and
install the 10.1.2, 10.1.4 (includes 10.1.3) and 10.1.5 updaters. Then
repair permissions again.
