Difficulties with Mac OS 10.9.2 and Microsoft Office 2011

Question

I administer a high school writing center.  We have the latest iMacs, Word 2011 (including the latest update), and we recently updated our OS from 10.8.4 to 10.9.1 to 10.9.2.  On most of our 42 desktops—all set up the same way—the update(s) went fine.  The students work from a student account.  Word works fine from the Admin account.  MS Office 2011 works great with 10.8.4 and 10.9.1—but not 10.9.2.  Microsoft Error Reporting eventually kicks in and allows us to send the report to Microsoft, but we cannot launch any Office app.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

I use Macs in my environment, and they run great. My site uses 1131 and 1231's, with EAP-FAST authentication. I did have a couple of strange issues though with Leopard, which I will share below:
1) With 10.5, I would have to turn my radion off & on to get it to associate. Once I upgraded to 10.5.2, it worked great.
2) With 802.1X based authenticaiton, the setup is a bit counter intuitive. I had ot make sure that I was selecting user based credentials for non-domain Macs. I would then delete the entry in my wireless sites that the 802.1X would enter, and recreate it to set the proper encryption scheme.
Hope that helps =)
