I think your only problem may be that you are trying to run 6.0.8.
The last compatibility list I saw included almost every 6.0.x release
but 8 (but maybe that was a timing problem .7 was the last listed.)
It's not clear to me that 6.0.8 might not be the cause of your
problems.  (I am not running Word whatever so can't help you with
actual experience.)
