I unchecked everthing in tools, add-ins, and one add-in returns (Docudeck PDF).
If this is the add-in that is causing my problem, I will have to live with
it. Removing this add-in would cause more work then leaving it. Thanks for
your insights

Excellent. There is little doubt then that there is an add-in interfering.
In safe mode none will load so that's why you don't have the issue there.
Please uncheck everything in Tools, Add-ins. Also, look in both of your
XLSTART folders for any files and move them elsewhere temporarily (with
Excel closed). (One XLSTART is under the Office install folder and the other
is under Documents and Settings.)

If these things do not help look for Com Add-ins. That item may be in your
Tools menu. If it's not you can add it via View, Toolbars, Customize,
Commands, Tools in the left list, about 60% down in the right. Drag it to
the Tools menu. Then check it

If it's not one of these things I don't know what it could be.
