Tiger upgrade causes Office 2004 problems

Last week we upgraded to tiger server 10.4.2 from 10.3.9 and we performed the same on our workstations.  They are being managed by open directory on the group and computer level.  I’m having some problems with Office 2004 that are not present in their knowledge base and did not occur in my test environment.  What’s happening is as students close microsoft word they are getting a pop up box saying Word cannot complete the operation because too many files are open. (AutoRecovery save of Normal)

 

My first attempt at fixing it was disabling autosave and checking to see if normal.dot had changed but it didn’t appear that it had.  Anyone else experienced this?
