Garagolo Would you be able to post the response that you said was the solution? I have a Foxit PDF Creator COM Add-in (not plug in). Is that what he's referring to? I have to figure out how to disable it as it serves no purpose. If it turns out to be the reason for a ton of frustration or a long period of time, I will not be happy with Foxit.

    for me the solution was this:

    1- Go to File/Options/Add-ins

    2- Manage in the bottom

    3- Choose COM Add-ins

    4- Uncheck any box including the pdf program you are using

    5- It should be solved by now
