Thanks for the response Diane. I had already removed the duplicates using
Fontbook to no avail. I also removed the font cache using a Unix command line.
It actually appears slower now. It's taking about 1 minute to launch Excel.
And about 30 seconds to launch Entourage. There must be something else going
on here

Testing in a new User will quickly tell you if the problem is system wide or
if it¹s your User¹s folder that contains the problem.

Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Accounts. Switch to the
New User by logging out/in or use Fast User Switching. Try launching Office
applications in the new User. Is it faster?

If you still are having problems, search for the word "slow" on this link:

<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/troubleshoot/crashes.html>

Until we get more info on Snow Leopard we won't know if there is some
specific fix that's needed.
