Now Loren (and I don't mean "doh"): is the problem you are talking about
one of the three I listed or is it different ?? Does it come back once
proper cleanup has been performed ??

Corentin,

Thanks for the longer response. Thanks for the clarification about English not being your native language too, which makes your response make more sense.

I still think you're missing the very obvious here, because I've seen this problem (INCLUDING the recurrent part of it) posted here and other places for months here and all over the place. But then I'm affected by it.

I can't fully test all possibilities right now because it is for now fixed by Tiger Cache Cleaner. So I suspect the problem is one of the system level caches and not the MS font cache. However, these corrupted fonts are not actually corrupted because they affect no other product than Office. It's Office's problem. I understand these user groups are to help with fixes and such but I hope that MS people read them and do bloody something about them.

The problem does come back up every so often even though I've done a deep clean with Tiger Cache Cleaner. That does require a reboot. And after the reboot Office starts up fine. It's just eventually it comes back. I stopped using Word and Excell whenever I can because of this (I'm now using TextEdit for regular text editing and avoidng speadsheets when possible) so I can't tell you how many days -- or launches -- it takes.
