10.2.8 Upgrade messed up Word in Emails

[Bob Tell]

I have MS Word for Mac (v.X) and, until recently, email attachments in
WORD opened easily with one click. I use mac.com (macmail). Last
week, I downloaded and installed 4 upgrades having nothing obvious
to do with WORD or Mac Mail. These were OS 10.2.8, ICal 1.5.1, ISync
1.2.1 and new ISync Conduit Settings. It doesn't make sense to me but
suddenly I cannot open MS Word attachments received in emails. I get
a message saying, in effect, that MS WORD cannot load the MS Office
shared libraries, and telling me to move my files back to their original
locations and/or to reinstall WORD. The files hadn't been moved from
their original locations and I reinstalled WORD 3 times. Nothing
works. HELP!

Hi Bob,

First thing to do is to run Disk Utility First Aid and repair permissions.

That didn't work for me today when I tried the same thing. I downloaded the
10.2.8 update from Apple's web site and ran it again manually. That seemed
to fix things for me. My update got messed up when the computer shut down
unexpectedly during the first 10.2.8 update attempt.

The first 10.2.8 Update was pulled by Apple the same date it had been
originally released. Subsequeently, a corrected version was released
without cahanging the version number.
