Q: Cannot open .xls or .doc files

I have office 2008 updated to the latest version operating on a mac osx 10.5.8. I cannot open xls or doc files. I get the messages "file cannot be opened" and "file blocked".

Have tried

- opening via right click and through the programs themselves
- installing updates

Any suggestions welcome.

10.5.8, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
