Hey John..I'm not sure why you sent that. But, did you try repairing Office? If you go to the Control Panel and choose Add/Remove Programs...find Office in the list and click on it...when the choices come up, choose to Repair it...if that doesn't work, try Reinstalling it right over top of itself. I would think this *might* solve your problem. Report back.
