Hi Kevin,

It sounds like you have an incorrect registry setting.

Try performing a Repair of the Office Installation. If that does not work
then perform the following:

- Uninstall Microsoft Office
- Delete the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office
- Delete the registry keys (backup registry first) via Regedit
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Office
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Office

- Reboot machine
- Reinstall Microsoft Office

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.
