unable to add an e-mail account

Fresh in stall of Outlook for Mac 2011 (fresh install of OSX).  All updates have been applied to both OSX and Office.  When I go into Outlook, edit the accounts and either click on the 'E-mail Account' button or click the '+' then e-mail account nothing happens.  No dialog to add an e-mail account, no error, nothing.  Additionally, I have to force quit Outlook and re-launch.  I've tried to reboot and check the disk to no avail.  The only thin I haven't tried is de-installing/re-installing Office.
