Update problems with Office 2001 on OSX Panther

[Harry]

I have updated MS Office 2001 on my machine twice. Both times Word
does not open after the upgrade, it unexpectedly quits. All other
Office applicatins work fine.

How can I fix this problem, or go backward to the unupdated version of
Word without effecting all the other applications. When you load Word
again, you drop and drag all the files for everything. How do I
replace only the files for Word?

When it quits, what is the error type?

Have you allocated enough memory to Word? Using File/Get Info/Memory,
I'd give Word at least 48MB of "preferred" memory if you have enough
available. Leave the "minimum" setting as it comes - something less than
10MB IIRC.

Have you rebuilt your desktop (restarting the machine, holding down the
OPT and CMD keys until you're prompted to rebuild your desktop)?
