Hmmm...  Maybe a clean install would do it, but I guess you've already thought of that and you're looking for something easier.  

Do you happen to recall the work around for the Office "feature" that prevents us from running the same copy of Office on two different computers on the same network?  I just bought a new dual G5 PowerMac and it would be nice to leave Office running even when I connect my iBook to the network. Maybe this should be a separate thread.  I guess I'll post this question separately if I don't see a reply.
