Office X crashing on launch

[galicianer]

I'm running OS 10.4.4, Office X with the 10.1.6 update installed.
Everything was working fine upto a couple of weeks ago. The Office, no
matter which component just crashes upon launch. Sometimes I get the
Project gallery window for a second or two, sometimes not even that.
I've already tried to re-install office several times, trashed all the
prefs, all the font caches, all the templates, ran Disk Warrior,
repaired permissions, etc. Still crashes on launch. Reminds me of the
space shuttle.
Can anybody help me?
Thanx.

Sounds like you've done most of the things we'd suggest, though you
don't say whether you're using the Remove Office app before you
reinstall Office (simply reinstalliing, which sometimes works with
Windows apps - mostly because doing so rewrites the registry settings, I
suspect - almost never works with Macs: apps just don't corrupt very
often).

One thing you don't mention is checking for a corrupt font. You might
have some success if you follow these steps in order:

Use a non-Safari browser, or hit refresh a couple of times per page.

Removed. Re-installed.
Couldn't get any useful information out of the above doc., although I
did start up with the bare minimum of fonts.
Any other suggestions?

I have the same problem, same version of Office and OS X. I can open
old documents, and if I have an old document open I can create a new
document, but when I try to start up any component of Office X it
crashes. I have tried all of the above and no luck.
