disappearing formatting palette

[LPSB]

This was a new one to me -- a teacher brought in her macbook with
Office 2004 installed. All of a sudden, every time she clicks on
"view-.formatting palette" when using Word, the formatting palette
flies across the screen and disappears down below her dock and off the
screen. We've tried resizing the display, moving the dock, hiding the
dock - no matter what, the formatting palette simply flies away out of
sight. Anyone ever seen this and have a solution?
