Linked Excel Spreadsheets in Word - 2010

Hi

Our Budget Office are heavy users of Excel and Word. They do a lot of linking in Word to Excel spreadsheets, and they share the documents on the network.

Of 5 budget analysts, only 1 person is having issues. When she opens a Word document, Excel opens too, it asks about updating the links to which she says yes. Then when the Word document displays, the Excel spreadsheet is large and off the page.

When any of the other analysts open that same document, it updates fine, Excel does not open, and the spreadsheet in Word displays fine.

All budget analysts have the same OS - which is XP SP3 and the same Office Suite which is Office 2010.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Word. Then uninstalled and reinstalled the entire Office Suite. Still have the same problem. It is specific to the computer, I signed on as myself, and have the same problem.

When the links were added, they were copied from Excel, then "paste special" as an Excel Worksheet object.

I can't understand why it works for everyone except this one user. Any ideas?

thank you
