Has anyone noticed that their computer runshot while running Microsoft Office Products?

[NoBeer]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

Every time I run a Microsoft Office Product my fans kick-in and my Temps go through the roof. Once I shut them down everything goes back to normal.

This includes:
Entourage
Word
Excel
PowerPoint

Any thoughts?
Thanks, NoBeer

This is not a common complaint.

Open the Activity Monitor in Applications/Utilities. Sort by CPU column and
see if there are other processes running high that will give you a clue as
to what might be happening.

You might check the Apple Downloads site to see if there any firmware
updates for your flavor of Mac. Revving fans have been a recurring issue for
several models over the last few years. There may also be some conversation
in the Apple Discussions forum. Links to both:
