If you are using Word/Excel XP (2002) as far as I know this problem
should
have been fixed by a service pack some years ago (I think 2002 is up to
Service Pack 3 (SP3) now - you can get these packs from the microsoft web
site - see http://www.microsoft.com/downloads ,or if you are in a
corporate
environment you would typically have to ask your I.T. support people.
Otherwise, which version of Word, Excel and Windows?
