Well you have two choices.  A. Use the clean version and put all your personal 
configuration back in (kmail, bookmarks, etc).  You can back up the two most 
important things :) easily (kmail settings and bookmarks).  B.  You can 
remove the koffice settings to just reset those.  Only the first option  
requires logging out and moving things around from a text login at first.

A) Clean kde with backing up kmail and bookmarks ...

	(from text login)

	mv .kde .kderc old_kde/
	mv clean_kde/.kde* ~/

	Now log out of the text login and log back into kde.  And inside of 
	kde you can move the needed files back.  (use konq or whatever)  
	What you need are ...

	old_kde/.kde/share/config/kmailrc (file)
	old_kde/.kde/share/config/kmail.eventsrc (file)
	old_kde/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc (file)
	old_kde/.kde/share/apps/kmail (directory)
	old_kde/.kde/share/apps/konqueror (directory)

	and move them to their respective ~/.kde/ locations.


OR just delete the koffice stuff ...


B) deleting the koffice stuff

	from inside kde (use konq or whatever) delete the following ...

	.kde/share/apps/koffice
	.kde/share/config/kwordrc
	.kde/share/config/kspreadrc
	.kde/share/config/kpresenterrc
	.kde/share/config/kivo*


either way kword, etc should then work.
