Prevent various Office v.X errors

It seems that a multitude of problems in MS Office v. X can be fixed by deleting a single file in the user preferences before launching the MS app:
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Registration Cache X
Here are the things fixed so far:- Launching Visual Basic editor crashing MS Word.
- Turning 'record' on in applescript crashing MS Word.
- Using AppleScript to run a 'do script' command directed at an MS app.
- 'Object library not registered' errors when opening some MS Excel documents (which don't even have any extra VBA code in them).
Clearly all these errors are VBA related, so I'd bet that deleting this file could even fix the 'random MS Word quitting' bug.
[Editor's note: I've had the occasional Word quit error, so I just deleted this file ... I'll post a comment back after I've had more time with Word running to see if the random quits are gone.]
