Hi, again, Mark,

Using the MS Cleanup Utility and, then, re-installing MS Office 2003 cleared
up the problem. This was suggested by your reply and was reconfirmed by the
answer from Leo Chen to my Support Request SRZ050318002968 to Microsoft.
Apparently, it was not a Windows Installer problem. Rather is was due to MS
Office 2003 becoming corrupted. Again, thanks to you for all of the worth
while links and information.
