You could try repairing the Office installation (via Programs & Features > Microsoft Office > Change in the Windows Control Panel). Reinstalling rarely cures anything a repair won't and a repair is much faster. Also, because some configuration settings are retained in the registry and templates when Office is uninstalled, a clean reinstall is somewhat harder to achieve than most people realize.
