Microsoft Excel is waiting for another application to complete an OLE action

M

I have MS Office 2004 running on a Mac Powerbook with OSX 10.4.3 on it.

I have an Excel spreadsheet that has an embedded Word document in it.

If I click on the box, the cell value is: EMBED("Word.Document.6", "")

When I dbl-click on it, I get the spinning cursor and this message that
says, "Microsoft Excel is waiting for another application to complete
an OLE action." with just an OK button is displayed. When I click on
OK, the message goes away and then comes back after a few seconds.

We have 2 other computers running MS Office on OSX 10.4.3 where this
works fine.

Oh... one other bit of useful information. When starting Word on this
computer, I get a lot of error messages about corupt fonts.
