Thanks, Mr. Kenyon, for that speedy response to my query!

You suggested that I may be "running multiple versions of the software on the same computer."

But as far as I know there is only one version of Office 2007 installed on this PC. And it was already installed on the PC when I received it.

I just looked in the Control Panel under "Programs and Features" and the only version of Office that shows up in the list is: Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007" installed 3/29/2012

Is there another way I can check to see if I have one or more other versions of Office hiding somewhere on this machine?

P.S. I'd like to be able to insert screenshots of what I see when Word 2007 boots up. But the "Insert Image" button doesn't seem to work for me. I uploaded the screenshots to Photobucket, and then tried to link to them with the "Insert Image" button. But when I click "Preview Post" the images don't show up in the preview.
