Word 2010 equation gallery is blank

I have a colleague who is using Word 2010 and when she goes to Insert>Equation, under the structures on the right for Fraction or Script, etc and she clicks on the drop down arrow all the boxes are blank.

I have tried running a repair of office with no success.

I tried moving the 1033 folder under appdata\roaming\microsoft\document building blocks then opening word again and this did not resolve the issue either.

Short of removing and installing it again, is there anything else that can be done?
