I'm new to Mac-Forums, so hear me out.

I have a major problem. As the title states, I can't open ANYTHING that came with Microsoft Office 2008, not even the "Remove Office". :'(

I am not very good at this whole "terminal bash" thing, I/Os are more my thing.

Any help would be very appreciated, as I have urgent homework. ;D

Are you trying to delete Microsoft Office 2008, or just get it open?

Try going into Home>Library>Preferences and removing any Office plist files you encounter. Drag them to the desktop, reboot and see if their is an improvement. If all is okay trash them.

If no joy pop in the Office 2008 DVD and start installation again which in theory should remove any earlier Office install.
