Hi Carey Frish
thankyou for your help it worked well, I had a so called tech here
yesterday who had no idea what to do.
One thing thing id like to make mention is that i wasnt clear when the
reinstall or repair Office screen came up with 2 options, Reinstall office
and the other Detect and Repair errors in my office Instalation
and option to restore my Start Menu.
so while i was deciding which to click it automatically decided and installed.
so for others maybe a mention regarding this.
but great service and fast response
thanks again.
regards
steve
