clipboard is full and then she can't cut/paste. Lately when she goes
to open a doc Excel can not find the directory and she has to go
through Windows explorer to open something. Our tech dept. (we are a
remote office) is at a loss and we think we have to just re-install
office. If there are any ideas we would appreciate them.

Not sure, we are on a system and use Novell Zenworks to distribute all
new apps. and upgrades. Just talked to our help desk and they told me
the same thing. I am going to escalate the problems with them but that
isn't always the quickest route for us.

Thanks.

To attempt to resolve the files not opening..........

Before re-installing Office try to re-register Excel.

Close Excel first and
On the Windows Taskbar

1) StartRun "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK.
2) StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.
See the space between exe and /regserver

You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe.
In that case StartRun "C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.

The clipboard is full problem........
