Thanks so much, Cindy. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the
program, and that DID solve the problem. Your answer provided other
useful
info for me, though. I didn't know about the"repair" option in the
control
panel.
This is almost funny, too. Since I reinstalled the program, it now takes
FOREVER to to load! And, I have a pretty fast PC! Now, I may try your
repair suggestion. If it's not one thing, it's another, right?

Hi ?B?amF6enlnaXJs?=,
When I right-click on the red/green wavy lines (as I have always
done), my
program shuts down! I now have office 2003 Professional. This didn't
happen
with Office 98 or Office 2000. Any ideas why it's happening?
Something, somewhere, is damaged. You might try going to Control
Panel/Add
Remove Software, select the entry for Office 2003, then choose to
"repair" the
current installation.
If that doesn't help, try renaming Normal.dot to NormalOLD.dot. If
you've
upgraded from a previous installation, this could be damaged and causing
problems.
If that still doesn't solve the problem, try uninstalling/reinstalling
Office.
(I had a problem the other day with Access, and that's the only thing
that
helped.)
