I did a clean install of Leopard this weekend and I am having an
annoying issue with Office 2004. All the files that I had copied from
my backup do not show the Office Icons (Word, Excel, Powerpoint), all
the show is a text type icon with either doc or xls in black print. I
did a fresh install of office, applied all updates and ran disk
permissions and still nothing.

Anyone have any suggestions?

You can re-associate those documents with their applications by selecting
-say- an Excel document in the Finder and choosing Get Info (File menu...
Get Info... or Apple-I).
In the resulting Get Info window, there's an option to "Open with:"
Choose Microsoft Excel
Also click on the Change All... to associate the rest of your Excel
documents in this way.
Rinse and repeat for Word, PowerPoint and so on.
