There has to be something that is blocking changes to the registry.
Try deleting the Word DataKey and then test changing the setting
again.
Word DataKey

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\version number\Word\Data

Right, but I did not install ccleaner on the fresh install.

Correct...clean install, no registry cleaners. Will deleting the Key
referenced affect Word, Publisher and Outlook 2003 all?

Also, as a matter of curiosity, I spent an hour yesterday rooting around in
the registry with RegEdit and I found the following:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\Toolbars and one of the entries
is AutoExpandMenus\REG_DWORD\0x00000001 (1)

I exported this key for safety reasons and altered the data value to 0, then
2, then 3. In all three cases, the function of 'Always Show Full Menus' was
enabled in Word and Publisher, but not in Outlook. Further, when I closed
RegEdit and then reopened it, the data value had reverted to the original
setting. So, I'm really bumfuzzled... I''' export the referenced key and see
what happens. Further information to follow.

Thanks!
