Paul, I found an empty StuffitEngineShell.cfm folder, so I followed your advice and uninstalled/reinstalled Office (and then updated to 11.2.3). Following re-installation, there is still nothing in the StuffitEngineShell.cfm folder (unless it's an invisible file), and I still get the same error message in Entourage when attempting to compress a folder (as an attachment). I appreciate whatever help you can offer. Thanks, Gene
