I suspect the reason you haven't had an answer is that nobody else has
seen this.

Is it only the one file? Others get on the list OK?

Is the file local or on a server?

Have you tried repairing permissions using the DiskUtility app in the
Applications/Utilities folder?

As a guess, try, with all Office apps closed, deleting the

    ~:Library:Preferences:Microsoft:com.microsoft.Office.prefs.plist

file (where ~ is your home directory).
