Using Office 2004 with Remote Home Directories

Most of our users have remote home directories, running Mac OS 10.3.9. The home directories are stored on file servers. We were using a separate LDAP server for authentication. Office 2004 is installed locally, in the users' Applications folder.
The LDAP server failed over the weekend. One of the fileservers is now performing the LDAP server's functions. Since this happened, whenever users try to open an Office file on their Desktop by double-clicking it, the Office app unexpectedly quit. However, if the user navigates to any of those files from the File menu, the file opens and the app doesn't quit.
Can anyone offer any advice on how to fix this problem? We did try using Disk Utility to Repair Permissions, but that did not seem to help.
