That is bad advice. You do not reformat because of this issue. The OP has not got back here yet or he\she has already solved the issue with the advice already given in previous answers in this thread

Okay, I didn't read the full message, which clearly states you have
exhausted the install possibilities.
So, that leaves the back-up files being deleted all the time.
I speak out of experience, as the clean-up tool I used (TonyArts
EasyCleaner) deletes Office's back-up files. Strangely enough, Office
uses those back-up files all the time, either to load the most common
executions (like opening Word, and other subcategories of Office) or
to store other utilities like ClipArt.
It is a strange but common behaviour by Office 2007. So, when these
(invisible) back-up files get deleted by a clean-up tool, Office can't
find the back-up files and re-installs the lot everytime you start
Office. Like I said earlier, you need to add "OPA12.BAK" to the
exceptions in the cleaning app, or, when the latter is impossible, get
rid of the cleaning tool altogether...

Hi - If your PC is a Dell, this is a common problem. The only
effective way of dealing with it is to clean reinstall the operating
system from the disc that is supplied and not the factory restore
image on the hard disk. Somehow this has been corrupted in some way.
If you Google, you will find a lot of people with the same problem.
You will unfortunately have to reinstall all the other programmes and
data. But it does mean you can remove the partition and free up some
hard disk space. Hope this helps.
