Microsoft Office applications randomly minimize

I recently installed Windows 7 on a users machine.  Since then, he has had issues with Microsoft Office Word and Excel  randomly minimizing (not closing).  The user is working on a Dell Latitude D420.  Any ideas on how to stop this from happening?

Any non office apps doing this? Could be a gesture on the trackpad. Turn off flicks and gestures if they are on

The users' machine is a laptop, which is placed into a docking station every morning.  The mouse pad and pointing stick are disabled.  It was happening quite often (every five minutes) until I uninstalled a Bluetooth driver that seemed to be triggering some event logs.  Now he is using a corded mouse and a corded keyboard.  It maybe happens once or twice a day and only seems to occur with Microsoft Word and Excel.
I have also tried the Office Diagnostics tool which found nothing, but have not yet tried to "Repair" the installation.
