Corel Connec7 x7 conflict with MS Office

There seems to be a conflict between CorelDraw Connect and MS Office, and its seems like the conflict centers around the Search Index.

When I use connect (which is a very useful program), suddenly a window pops up that it is installing something in MS Office, and then, if I search for something in Outlook I get a notice that the search function is not working properly and the Connect program crashes at some point along the line as well. When I do not use Corel Connect, everything works fine.  But this is a drag because the corel connect program is very helpful for finding files. And in the meantime, rebuilding and repairing the index is a very time-consuming process.  Help.
