    Doug, I Love You. I have been arguing with word for 3 days now. Turns out it was the Abbyy fine reader which I can only assume was installed from my Epsom  printer disk. Everything is working fine now. Thank you so much.

    Why should Microsoft do that when it was an update to AbbyyFinereader that was required to overcome the problem.

    No software vendors application should break another software vendors application.

    Hi...removing the Fun Tools add-in fixes it for me too. Pesky Fun Tools was causing issues in Outlook too, removed it there and that's all good now :-)

    Thanks

    Abbyy Finereader is installed with most Epson Printers or Scanners.
