I have tried uninstalling office completely and reinstalling it -- several

Go to File>Print and make sure you have a valid default printer selected.
Access can't design reports without a printer established.

Otherwise, if the problem is confined to reports, I would look at Printer
drivers first.
- Check for new drivers.
- Delete & reinstall the printer on your PC, whether you find new drivers or
not (make sure the "new" Printer is selected under File>Print).

HTH,
