Right-click on each Microsoft Office application and choose Open. This will produce a brief verification progress panel, and then you may receive another dialog informing you that the application is from a third-party developer. If this panel has an OK button, click that and the application should launch. This should be a one-time ritual to authorize each MS application with Apple's Gatekeeper, and afterward, each will launch normally.
