Opening Powerpoint or Excel starts up "Microsoft Word X Setup Assistant"

[Tom Zahm]

I have Office V.x installed on my Mac OS X system (Jaguar)

Whenever I start Word, things go fine.

Whenever I start Powerpoint or Excel, I have to go through the
"personalize" dialog (It says "Microsoft Word X Setup Assistant" in
the title bar).

Any ideas how to stop this?

I've already removed the preferences, but it didn't help.

i would start with (with all Office apps closed) repairing disk
permissions:

OS 10.2.x/3.x: Run the Disk Utility (in the ./Applications/Utilities
folder). From the First Aid tab, click "Repair Disk Permissions".

OS 10.1.5: Run Repair Privileges (same folder, or download from
Apple:
