Word, Office and Powerpoint do this too. Everything you trash will be
recreated by those three applications (actually the Microsoft Office First
Run). It's very save. I do it all the time when I've got M$ application
problems.
I have a standard procedure for this:
I trash the following:
System Folder/Extensions:
Microsoft Component Library
Microsoft Hyperlink Library
Microsoft RPC Runtime Library
Microsoft Structure Storage
MS Font Embed Library (PPC)
MS Library Folder
(if you find more trash them too and they will be recreated by Internet
Explorer)
System Folder/Preferences:
Excel Chart Gallery (8)
Excel Settings (8)
Excel Toolbars (8)
Graph Chart Gallery (8)
Microsoft Find File
Microsoft Grammar Settings
Microsoft Help Preferences
Microsoft Office Settings (8)
MS Office ACL (8)
Office Registration Cache
Word Font Menu Cache (8)
Word Font Substitutes
Wortd Settings (8)
Than restart and update Office with the latest update for Office 98. Than open
up Word again and see if the problem persists.
Hope this helps.
