Linda, how many versions are there for M$ Office? Does this include all the service releases/packs and updates? I'm asking only because a MOUS I know continually runs into issues between all the patches, updates, and fixes from his machine as compared to the machines of others. A common issue for any support person regardless of application or platform. How many machines do you run M$ Office on?
