If you're logging in with a local account at home and a domain account at
work, then the two profiles are different and you would not see the other
user's personal files.
When you have everything working, I'd recommend using the domain account
only. You'll be able to log in using cached credentials while you are away
from the office.
As far as Office is concerned, I suspect that some components are not
installed correctly and it's trying to reinstall them. Office can be a pain
about this. Once you've got everything else sorted, I'd recommend posting
to an Office setup newsgroup about that specific problem. People there will
have more knowledge of what tends to go wrong with Office setup.
