Hi Shirley,
It sounds like you have a outdated version of the OLEAUT32.dll, here is what I would try.
1. Click Detect and Repair on the Help menu in any office application.
2. Click Start in the Detect and Repair dialog box.
Office Setup replaces the outdated copy of Oleaut32.dll.
NOTE: Because of the outdated version of Oleaut32.dll, you may receive error messages during the reinstallation. Click
Ignore in each error message dialog box to continue.
Let me know if this resolves the problem
Sincerely,
