That's normal.
Sorry, you can't transfer installed applications that way. And Apple and
Microsoft should sort this out.
In your Microsoft Office 2004 folder you will find a "Remove Office" tool.
Run it, twice, to remove ALL copies of Microsoft Office. Then re-install
from your Office CD. Then apply the Microsoft updater for Microsoft Office:

oad/Office2004/Office2004_1135.xml
Sorry: Due to Microsoft and Apple stupidity, there is a crippled version of
Microsoft Office already installed when you get a new machine. Unless you
remove it first, it blocks the transfer of the working version.
This is a REALLY STUPID BUG that has been going on for TWO YEARS now!!!
Cheers
I got a new Mac Book Pro and transferred all my files from the iBook
to the Mac Book Pro (2.4 Ghz) using Firewire during the installation /
setup process. None of the Office 2004 apps work. When I start Word,
the icon just bounces on the dock. When I click on a Powerpoint file,
the Powerpoint icon also just bounces on the dock. Nothing happens.
