Hi all - (maybe Beth R in paticular) For some weird reason my problem went away for a while, but now it's back, and every time I delete the ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Font Cache (11) it builds a new one, but I still get that annoying "Optimizing Font Menu Performance" and then "This and that font is Corrupt and hsould be removed"
Should I simply remove the ones I can find, do you think?
