You could have saved yourself some time by doing the repair first. Messing around with different flavours of Office won't achieve anything, since they use the same core components, registry settings and templates.

To completely remove Office, you should first use the std uninstall process, then run a utility like CCleaner or PC Cleaner to remove the vestiges the MS usually leaves behind. See also: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/su...104027750.aspx



I don't understand what you mean re the VBE. Everything always goes into a Project. If you don't have any documents open and your Normal template doesn't have any macros, etc, I wouldn't expect to see anything other than the 'Normal' project. Even with a document open, you wouldn't necessarily expect to see anything other than that document's name and 'Normal'. It's only when you start adding macros that a given project's tree will expand. Since macros can be added to the 'ThisDocument' module of either the Normal template or a document, even having a macro doesn't guarantee having any entries under 'Modules', 'Class Modules' or 'Userform'.

Paul....

Thanks for the advice on preparing a "clean" install - I'll look into it.

With regard to the VBE, I know what it normally looks like, and where Forms and Modules can be added.
I've added two screenshot attachments to show what I mean: existing Forms, Modules, etc ARE NOT IN THE NORMAL SUBGROUPS - They're ALL in the Project, which is behaviour I've never seen before.
I tend to prefix Forms with "frm", Modules with "mod" etc. The two pictures show the top and bottom of the VBE list, with This Workbook at the bottom.

Incidentally, if I open the Workbook on a different PC the VBE shows the Forms, Modules etc. CORRECTLY GROUPED.
