O.K.k, thanks, I got it. At least it works. The real problem was trying to
re-install Offcie 12, after uninstalling it, we could not get past the
translator files, the install would not drill past the folder to the files.
So we installed Office 10.

This may have been fixed in this month's patches.

If that is the case, and if we have recovered from the last bout of cleaning
the registry of Office 10 and Office 12 entries, line by line by line, we may
ditch the Offie 10 and go back to Office 12, but only if we feel very patient.

Meanwhile, everything works, and Offcie 10 (XP) is fine.
