Sort window for Custom Sort gets bigger each use

[timd-sfmic]

Our company recently rolled out Office 2007 Standard. One user uses Excel
quite a lot. She does the Custom Sort action a lot (under the Home
tab>Sort&Filter button). She noticed that the window that pops up actually
increases in size each time she clicks the Custom Sort button. When I try it
on my pc, I can resize the Sort window, and have it remember whatever size I
put it at each time, whether I close and restart Excel, or just doing another
Sort action. For her, it increases exponentially. The process goes like this:

1. Click Custom Sort
2. Click Cancel to close Sort window.

The first time you don't notice it, but by the 4th time you do those action,
the Sort window fills up both of her 19" dual screen monitors and you have to
kill excel.exe because the window's buttons are off the screen (this is one
of the more amusing problems I have encountered during my career).

Machine has latest MS updates

I have had no other users report any similar problem, as not many other use
Excel, but if I hear any more, I will post any similarities between machines
or environments.

Thanks.

I also have Excel 2007 at work and do use the Sort option regularly. It grows each time you use it until it's full screen. You can resize and I do, but it will grow bigger again. It is maddening.
