I had my Home Directory on another partition for years, using Word X.
(Office was also on yet another partition.) But I've been using a symlink
for the Home Directory, not a regular alias, so maybe that helped. I also
created a symlink to a subfolder called "Applications" in my Home Directory.
(An "Applications" folder in Home Directory is an Apple-approved location
for 3rd-party apps. The symlink worked just as well.)
