Did you try the OFFICE repair? Programs and Features. Click on Microsoft
Office. Tell it you DONT want to uninstall. It will then give you a
repair option.

You failed to state which version of Office you're running.
However, try killing all of the Add-Ins as they are usually the problem.

Where/ how do I find that?

I'm using 2000, so may be in a different place in other versions. Detect
and repair under the Help menu from any of the applications (Word etc).
 
Word or Excel Help\Detect\Repair

This is an issue with Office and should be posted to the Office Word or Excel newsgroups

What version of Word and Excel? 2000? Office XP, Office 2003, Office 2007?

Are they trial versions?
