Can't open or save Excel or Powerpoint Files

I am currently having a great deal of trouble trying to open and save excel and powerpoint files (word works fine).

I did restart the machine after every install. I also repaired the disc permissions but I had two messages come up:

1. SUID file " system/library/CoreS...as been modified and will not be repaired
2. SUID file " system/library/Private...as been modified and will not be repaired

My machine has the following drive information
• Capacity 137.3 GB
• Available 127.11 GB
• USED 10.2 G
• MACHINE HAS 2 G RAM

When I try and open an excel or PowerPoint file that already exists, a message pops up and says that "the file cannot be accessed".

When I try and save a new file it says that several things could be wrong such as:

• -The file name or path does not exist
• -The file i'm trying to open is being used by another program
• -The name of the workbook is the same as another

Microsoft Word works just fine.

I have installed and uninstalled so many times. I have called apple and they said it’s a Microsoft problem so they wouldn't help. I then called Microsoft and they won’t help unless I purchase another copy. The copy I originally had got deleted during my reboot. I have no idea how to solve this problem. I need excel in order to do my schoolwork.

If you have time can you please help me troubleshoot. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Sincerely,

Jared Lapointe
