Bug in German Office/Excel 2007 on German Systems

Hello.

I've a German Windows XP Pro SP2 and of course a keyboard with German
layout. Since I've installed my copy Office 2007 RTM from MSDN one key
combination no longer works, maybe others too. On German (and I guess
other European keyboard layouts too) there is the EURO-Symbol € (\u20AC)
which normally can be typed with the key combination / shortcut AltGr +
E or Ctrl + Alt + E.

Since I've installed Office 2007 this shortcut does not work anymore.
Instead it starts Excel which is a bug, because the € is a common and
often used character in Europe, because it's our currency.

Do you have any solutions or ideas for this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Marco
