You probably need to reinstall Office.

I'm thinking you're right. Googling "because of a shared library error"
turned up a number of discussions of this issue, also involving
AppleWorks, Zinio Reader and other apps, and it appears that an Archive
and Install reinstall has been what's necessary to fix the problem.
Running the 10.4.10 Combo updater has solved the problem.

Well, we'll see what happens. I'm not the only person this has happened
to, and the limited Googling I did indicated running the updater or
doing a full reinstall might be a solution. If it *is* a dead drive,
I'll be fairly pissed off as I made a point of spending the little bit
extra for a Seagate, all of 2 weeks ago.

I suppose it could be that the very last Mac OS X software update you
applied (not the combo just recently, but something before that) didn't
update properly and clobbered some library files. In any case, as you
say, time will tell.

Just to add a data point, I had similar 'shared' problems w/Word,
under 10.4.10. Within a couple of months, I had to reinstall it twice
to clear the problem. There was a service pack for office 2004 that
seems to have cleared up the problem, but I don't have the link handy.
(I don't run office, just word; and even then, only for one client.)

The OP said that multiple apps were affected, though; so presumably an
MS service pack won't help him. Maybe it'll help someone else.
