All 4 programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook) open up everytime the computer boots up. Any idea on this? I must have set them to open on start-up without knowing it.

If you are running OS X Lion or greater, when you shutdown you get the option to re-open all open applications the next time you start up. You can uncheck the box while shutting down to avoid that, or close all your applications. If neither of those is the case, then go to System Preferences->Accounts->Login Items and see if the Office programs have a check next to them there, if they do, they are being started from that..
