I installed Microsoft Office 2008 on my brand new macbook pro. In each program (word, excel...) when I highlight some text and select a font it puts in a different font instead. Any suggestions? (e-mail address removed)

It is impossible to offer any suggestions without more information.
What is the version of the OS?
Have you applied the SP1 update to Office?
EXACTLY what is happening?
Which font is the original text written in?
What portion of it are you highlighting?
What font do you select?
What font do you get instead?

Hello C -

Start with the basics: Quit any applications that are running, then go to
the Apple Menu & Shut Down the Mac. Let it sit for a moment, then restart &
see if the problem persists when you launch Word. When you launch pay close
attention to exactly what happens as Word starts up.

If all is well it means that your font cache simply needed cleaning, which
only requires an occasional restart to accomplish.

If this doesn't correct things come back with the details of what you
observed during the launch of Word in order to pursue it further.
