What does Runtime Error mean?
Runtime error is usually associated with a macro that has failed to run.

What does Runtime Error mean?
Courtesy of Office MVP Beth Melton:
A "runtime" error means that there is an error in a macro or add-in that is attempting to run. Typically these macros are created by a third-party and are not part of the Word installation. (They could also be caused by a malfunctioning macro virus as well) Many third-party applications will create an add-in and place it in the Office\Startup folder or use a COM add-in (DLL) to integrate their software with Word. Another common add-in, the "Microsoft Works Suite Add-in for Word" can only be found in your Add/Remove programs list. Aside from the Works Suite Add-in, to determine if you have any add-ins you can check for them using the following: Go to Tools/Templates and Add-Ins and see if there are any global templates or add-ins listed. If you find any then chances are they are located in your Office\Startup folder or Word\Startup folder. The location of the Word\Startup folder can be found under Tools/Options/File Locations and the Office\Startup folder will be located in the installation path for Office. If you find more than one add-in move them one at a time until you determine which one is causing the problem. As of Word 2000, Word can have COM add-ins, those that are added in via the Registry rather than the Startup folders. To check for COM add-ins add the "COM Add-In" command to your toolbar. - Right-click any toolbar and select Customize - On the Commands tab, select the Tools category - Locate COM Add-Ins on the right - Drag/Drop to a location of your choice For more information on COM Add-Ins, see this article: http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...sInstalled.htm -- Suzanne S.
