I don't have a complete answer for you, but do have some things for you to
check. Some years ago, I ran into such a situation when a school lab was
moved from Win95 to Windows NT. The office applications did not work unless
the user was logged in with Administrative privileges. Our solution at that
time was to have administrative level accounts for the users. This was done
because I did not have time to fix it properly, and it was not my
responsibility to do so - I was called in only because I was more familiar
with NT than anyone else there.
My suspicion is that the installation of office needs to have an area where
it can write some temporary files. If the user does not have write privilege
to the disk area that office uses, you will have error messages. Have you
tried to re-install Office using the users account? Also check the access
rights of the user to the office common area files.
Good luck.

MS Office 2000 applications are exhibiting odd behaviors on a number of
Windows XP Professional computers attached to a domain. The users are all
limited users residing in containers in Active Directory and there are
several Group Policies attached to these containers. (It should be noted
that the odd behaviors I'm about to describe occurred before the users were
moved to the AD container with the linked policies.)
