PowerPoint crashes when clicking on "Open Recent"

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

Hello and thank you!

I've experienced many crashes with PowerPoint since updating to version 2008, and I've been able to duplicate this crash by clicking on "File," then "Open Recent."

Whenever I click on "Open Recent" PowerPoint crashes.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Eric

We can't help you unless you include full version update information for
both Office & OS X - "Leopard 10.5" & "Office 2008" just doesn't do it.

Also, please don't post the same fundamental *Office* issue in multiple
separate groups for the individual applications. It makes it more difficult
for you to follow your replies and redundant for those taking the time to
respond.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your reply. I'm using Leopard 10.5.7 and Office 12.1.7.

Thanks again!

SOLVED!!!

I had to uninstall Office. Then, when I reinstalled it, I selected the custom install function (bottom left corner) and deselected the fonts option.

When I installed it, I could click on "Open Recent" and it doesn't crash any more.

Yay!
