Susan,
You're welcome. I wish we could get this fixed.
I'm almost out of ideas.
Go into "All Programs" in the Start Menu.
Find the Microsoft Office folder. Then look in the
Microsoft Tools folder for "Microsoft Office Diagnostics"
Run it and see what it does.
The only other option is to try and reinstall Office.
I'll be out the rest of the day, post back and
let me know what happens. I will check back later.
Oh, are these newly created documents? Or, did you
import them from another computer or a disc, maybe?
Is this on a clean install of Vista or an Upgrade install?
Clean install of Office or an upgrade from Office 2003?
Take care,
Michael
