Microsoft office 2011 downloading issue for version 14.3.9, not fully download or installing

Question

Hello all,
     So over the last couple of month for some reason my IMac, mid 2011 has been having problems with the software I use on a regular basis.  Microsoft Office Mac 2011 has been acting up, only the word app is malfunctioning.  If you were typing a paper it would automatically stop and the program itself would act like you are on a different window, so you would have to click on the page you were typing on to continue writing a paper.  I had even noticed this in Safari where I would have to search for what ever topic I was looking for for a school paper and halfway through the typing in the URL box you would have to click on the page opened and retype everything into the URL box.  I have gone through the disk utility and there seems to be a couple of problems with one program and many this not being what they are supposed to be I will continue this until I can get more ideas throughout the discussion.  Office update 14.3.9 starts to download but three-quarters of the way it restarts and searches for the update again.  This has happened at least the last 8 times, even after doing through disk utility.  No I do not have a time capsule or anything, but I will be getting something towards the end of the week to back  up my files and such.   Does anyone have any ideas that could possibly help the malfunction of this.  I love this mac and was surprise that this problem was encountered, kind of having to use my PC for some applications for my classes and would love to be able to use the mac again. Any suggestions or ideas, are greatly apprieciated.

Alright since I have posted this and not hearing from anyone I went ahead and took it to the Apple store after buying a external sotrage for my time machine (pretty cool deal, I think).  Only to find out that noting is wrong when they hooked it up and kept it for two days to see if anyhting else was wrong (saved some money everything was free).  Funny thing is when I was explaining what I was experiencing everything worked fine at the store, it even downloaded the update for microsoft word 2011.  Went onto the internet and nothing happened, even opened up word and typed for a while and nothing happened either unti I got home again and it all started again.  I am still confused so since then I bought a new router thinking that was the problem.  Nope.  stilling doing it so I researched more and found out that it could be something in my user profile that is causing the issue and possiblity of my internet connection which is DSL, and everything was working fine prior to the issue at hand.  So I set up another account on the mac and surfed the web, could not do word though becuase it is only in my wife and I's accounts.  So I will have to try that out.  But everything worked fine net document ans such.  I have been trying to figure out what software could be posing the problem.  I want to unistall but am afriad to do so I have reinstalled office for mac 2011 before I brought it into the Apple store, and have deleted some app games from the system and its still is doing the same thing.  A coworker asked what types of keyboards and mouses. I am using to include my trackpad which is only turn on if the mouse battery dies on me. All my gear is bluetoothed based except for the external harddrive which is usb and a second monitor.  I will have to do more researching, but if anyone has any ideas on what I can do more I would love to fix this issue soon.
