I don't have the 2008 version but with the past versions one could launch the Microsoft program while holding down the 'option' key and it will ask one to have it rebuild the Microsoft database.

Everyone knows how Microsoft LOVES central databases with all their products.

A side note, did you upgrade Office 2008 to the latest version, 12.1.5 - I had issues with several components until I did this.

yes after the re installation i received automatically new update 12.1.7

Oops, seems I am behind the times now I left the update checker on manual.
