However, the install was completed years ago. There is no information as to
what it is installing, the install/configuration process completes within a
minute or so, but this continually occurs each time word is opened. Has
anyone else experienced this and if so please enlighten me.

Many Thanks in anticipation of any and all advice!

I would recommend that you re-install your Windows Word application. From
the contract work I have done with various legal agencies, this is usually
the best fix. What may have happened is the Word files may have become
corrupt or missing over time. Re-install (make sure you don't delete your
word doc files) and you should be ok.
