Robert,
You won't lose your documents by reinstalling Office, but on the other hand, it probably wouldn't solve your problem, that seem to be introduced with Office 2003 (no posts in this forum for older versions with this problem).

Hi
I must have some sort of virus, but Norton doesn't think so. In my Office applications, any time I need to find a file, and click the down arrow beside 'Look in', it takes a long time to come back. It might take a minute or more. You might say that is not a long time, but you must aggree that it is longer than expected. What is it doing ? I don't get this delay in non-Office applications.
Anyway, I think I will just unInstall Office, then re-Install it. I'm happy to do this. But I am a little worried that I would lose all my documents when I unInstall Office.
Do you think I would lose my documents ?
Thanks
Robert
