Courtney,

What do you mean by "the machine's home directory lives on that machine"? Do
you mean "the OS X user's home directory lives on that machine"? Are you
using aliases or symlinks (which?) to access your OS X home directory on a
remote disk? Yes, I believe that's a known issue with all the "Redmond" MS
apps - Excel, Word, PPT - although not with Entourage - in Office X.
