Trouble with Office XP instal

I have installed with no problems, but when I try the next step I run into a problem.

Setting up buttons for easy signing / encryption abilities from a New Message toolbar:

  1. Click New Message button
  2. Select Tools from menu
  3. Select Customize from drop down menu

My “Customize” link is greyed out [ not a clickable link]
