Thanks Terry - I tried everything: detect & repair, installing Office
SP3, etc. Nothing worked - until i disabled my MathType 6 plugin.
Then it worked just fine. So, now I'm updating mathtype to 6.0c, and
we'll see if that fixes the problem. If not, then goodbye MathType!
I'm looking into Aurora anyway, for LaTeX formatting equations in
word...
Thanks again.
