teribryantGo to the Office app in question (Excel, Outlook, etc), then go to File-->Options-->Add-Ins (left hand column near bottom)
IF the Azure Information Protection plug-In is there, it will be listed under Active Application Add-Ins at the top of the box. look down to the bottom of the open window where it says "Manage", and change that to "Comm Add-Ins", and press "Go". In the window that pops up, uncheck the Azure Information Protection plug in, and press "okay".
That worked for me when troubleshooting a client's Excel. But there are several things that cause this problem, so I just wanted to get the FYI out.

This is what I found in Add-ins and it didn't have anything checked except the Acrobat PDFMaker or the tool you were talking about.
