OLE errors in Word w/ Powerpoint 2007

Greetings.

I've read up on the OLE errors and have yet to find anything relating to the issue I'm experiencing at my client.

Before I begin - specs on the user's machine are:

Dell Optiplex 990

Windows 7 x64 - SP1

8 GB RAM

Office 2007 - SP3

My user is using Powerpoint to make a presentation for her department.  She has multiple tables that were designed using Word.  She does not have an issue opening Word from inside PowerPoint when she doubleclicks on on the linked table to edit said table in Word.

When she goes to save her word document with the newly modified table, she gets the ever so annoying OLE error.  The error she's getting is:  "Word is waiting for another application to complete an OLE action."   That's it.  No error codes and I haven't been able to find this event in the PC's event viewer.

Any insight would be great.

Thank you!

If anyone has any insight, please share.  This is my final week at this client and would really appreciate having a solution by COB on Thursday.

Thank you!
