Paul....

"a clean reinstall is somewhat harder to achieve than most people realize."

Not 'arf!

I have access to my own copy of Office 2010, and the Office version.

Using Control Panel I uninstalled and re-installed both versions (separately), to see if either one was corrupt.

Both exhibited the same reported problems.

I tried your “Repair” suggestion (I’d never noticed the “Change” button before).

Same result, so I suspect either the OS or a Registry setting.

Also, something else that may be relevant is that (on my PC only) in the VBA Project Explorer, everything is grouped under “Project (projectname)”.
Unlike other instances of Word, where there are subfolders in the Explorer (Userforms, Modules, This Document, etc.), in this version everything is in one folder!!!

Rather than going for a complete OS reinstallation (which may be just as tricky as an Office reinstall / repair), can you suggest any sites which give assistance in executing a COMPLETE removal of Word (i.e. including Registry settings)?

Any help or suggestions will be gratefully received….
