Please, don't top post.  It makes it hard to keep the thread straight. 
I'm not sure I still understand your problem.  You installed what? 
Crossover Office? And it didn't put anything in the Menu?  Have you 
tried starting the apps from the command line?  I bet it would work that 
way just fine.  Someone will have to verify that since I"ve never used CO.

And if you went back to 32-bit you won't lose any RAM.  It's just that 
64-bit applications get a major performance boost if that amount is 
available.  I'm assuming of course the latest Ubuntu kernels are built 
with PAE enabled.  They should be.
