Red X in worksheet controls created with the Excel control toolbox

[Matt Hurley]

When I open a work book in Excel 2002 SP3 all of the controls in the sheets
display improperly. Some are shrunk to a height and width of .75. Most are
their expected size, but only show the outline of the control. Instead of
displaying the caption, a picture of a small piece of paper with a red ‘x’ on
it displays. The buttons can be clicked, and the associated code executes.
The same workbooks when accessed via a different computer display as
expected. The same workbooks displayed as expected yesterday when accessed
from the computer that is now giving me the problem. I have not installed any
new software recently. I can create a new workbook, add a control and the
control will have the red ‘x’ instead of a caption. I can save the book then
open it from another computer and the control’s caption displays as expected.

I have uninstalled office, and then reinstalled it. I then installed sp3. I
have updated my virus definitions, scanned for viruses and found none. The
problem persists.

Any ideas on how to solve my problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt Hurley
