About 50% of the time I access Word or Excel (or any other Office product) The prrogram re-configures itself.

Please see attached as I need some advice.

THANKS and have a great day!

Try reinstalling it? Are you always running it from the same account or not?

It's not that difficult - I don't think you loose any settings from Office.

This hardly is a problem as apps do and they often inform you about it, e.g. Corel Draw, Acrobat Reader, PySol etc. Like it's the "I'm preparing for work" message. (Re)configuration may also occur if you installed some extras as it is with, say, Office. So don't worry if you can work easily and have no other problems.
