Default Word doesn't starts fine

Whatever the mechanics of loading 2007's add-ins, an incompatible add-in
clearly is still present, otherwise you wouldn't be getting errors from the
macros it contains. Try removing *all* the add-ins and reintroduce those
that are compatible (probably not PDFMaker.dot which needed an update to
make it work with 2003! - and I don't know context-10.dot)

I checked, and it's not. There's PDFMaker.dot, context_10.dot, and
the Smart Tags, Measurement Converter and Person Name (Outlook e-mail
recipients). And the add-in that started all this isn't even listed
in the Inactive Application Add-ins list.

Urghh.

But that's what I get for messing around with beta software, right? (I
should add that I otherwise love Word 2007 so far--the interface is a
great improvement.)

Thanks. Any other ideas? Anyone who's wise in the ways of this beta?

I have no inclination to mess around with beta software, but if 2007
is anything like earlier versions, uninstalling thjird party
software does not necessarily uninstall the addins. Check whether
the add-in template is still loaded.

Following up on my own posting, like a dope, I forgot to say that
I'm using the 2007 Beta of Word. I *thought* this was the
appropriate group; if not, please let me know and, if you can, tell
me where the appropriate group is.

Using both Enric's and Suzanne's advice, I've uninstalled the
Creative Commons add-in, which fairly obviously caused the Autoexec
error to pop up, but I still get the same error message on opening
and closing Word. So I tried deleting normal.dot, and that didn't
help. Any other ideas? It's a little but utterly maddening thing.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi guys,


Every time I start Word XP appears the following warning:

"Compile Error in hidden module: AutoExec".

After that I can be able to work without incidences.

Any help will be welcomed,
