Office 2007 Quick Launch Icons Problem

[FightingScallion]

Here's an odd problem:

I've added MS Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Outlook icons to my Quick Launch
toolbar. All of these are Office 2007 Enterprise edition and I'm operating
Windows Vista x64 Home Premium.

So, here's the rub. If I have my Quick Launch set up so that only a few
(let's say 3) icons are visible and the rest come from expanding the window,
the ones in the expansion don't work.

To make the problem more clear, let me explain a little more how it would
work. Let's say I've got an MS Word icon in there. If it is one that is
seen all the time, without expanding the selection, MS Word will launch when
I click on the icon. If I move the same icon into the expansion group, it
won't launch MS Word.

If I unlock the toolbar and make all my Quick Launch icons visible all the
time, they all work. Again, if I collapse this to save space on the bottom,
every Office icon hidden becomes unresponsive. Non-Office icons appear to
still work.

Ideas on how to fix this? I like having those icons in there, but I really
don't want to lose that much task bar space.

Thanks,

Frank
