Yes, it is very bizarre and annoying. I don't believe I
have any right-to-left language enabled. The only language
I have enabled is english (us).

Should this problem be unsolvable (could it be that I
triggered a bug in the program?), would you recommend that
I uninstall xp office and re-install it from scratch in
hopes that the problem disappears?

Could it be a WORD virus?

Thanks for your help nonetheless,
