My whole machine went down about a month ago. Finally got to installing office today and word freezes. I've uninstalled and reinstalled to no effect.

Download and install the latest Office 2004 updates, which are the Office
2004 11.5.0 & 11.51 updates.

In Office 2004, use Microsoft AutoUpdate to get the latest updates. From
any Office application, go to Help > Check for Updates (or manually launch
Microsoft AutoUpdate from the Applications folder). If any updates are
needed, they will display in a sheet, at which point you can check them and
press the "Install" button to download and install them.

Updates can also be found at the Microsoft web site:
(11.5.0) http://snipurl.com/3gdjk
(11.5.1) http://snipurl.com/3gdjb

.... And repair disk permissions after any & all updates to Office or OS X.
