Did you try making new shortcuts to see if that is the problem? If
available, try doing a repair on MS Office (add remove screen in control
panel) and if no luck, try reinstalling it.
Office questions are best asked in an Office newsgroup such as:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...&lang=en&cr=US
If you post to an Office newsgroup, be sure to list the version of Office
you use.
