I'm having the same issue as of late. I didn't see any responses to your
post. Were you able to come up with a solution?

Thanks,

hello, Chris. The solution was to get Microsoft's help to uninstall Office,
do some manual registry changes and reinstall Office. A simple uninstall and
reinstall didn't work. I believe that an Office "Add-in" from a 3rd
Party had caused the problem. I haven't reinstalled the 3rd Party and the
pblm has not reappeared. George
