Okay I have downloaded Microsoft Office 2004 for mac (30 day test drive version) and when I went to go open Microsoft Word it said I needed to be the Administrator of this computer (which I am) and that I needed to have read/write permissions (which I would assume that I have and i wouldn’t know how to fix it if i didn’t have any) or something like that. I am running Mac OS X 10.4.9 do you think that has something to do with it? I need help I would like to buy the actual product someday, but this is kind of a road block. Has anyone had this problem with their machine if so tell me how to fix it.
Launch “Disk Utility” and “Repair Permissions”.
That should fix it.
If it doesn’t, select the folder “Office” is in & pull the Finder’s “File” menu down to “Get Info”.
In the resulting window, if the “Ownership & Permissions” arrow is pointed right, click it to open that section. Same with “Details”. You can select ownership there. If they’re locked, click the lock, and use your password to unlock them.
Hope this helps.

You can find a free alternative to M$ Office from here IMO It has better support than M$.
It has nothing to do with 10.4.9, try the previous answers suggestions, they should work for you.
