The run-time error message indicates a problem in a macro that is being
called when Word starts. The macro is almost certainly in an add-in template
which will be in either the Word of the Office start-up folder and which
should be listed in tools templates and add-ins. That macro is looking for
software that is no longer present on your PC. Remove the add-in from the
folder.
It is just possible if you didn't set up the PC yourself, or used a
normal.dot file created by someone else, that the calling code is contained
in a macro in normal.dot with a name beginning auto.... If that is the case
you need either to remove that macro or the part of the code it contains
that attempts to call the missing file.

Reader does not have PDFMaker. Search for the PDFMaker.dot file on
your

any that you find.

I have Adobe Reader 7.0 only. I do not have the software that
allows me to create Adobe files which is what I understand Adobe
Standard and Professional to be. The article addresses PDFMaker
being unavailable. I do not understand that Adobe Reader 7.0 has
PDFMaker.

Well, you didn't say in your original post what version of Acrobat
you
have, and you still don't say what version of Acrobat you have.
As the title of the article suggests, the article applies to
Acrobat versions
6.x and 7. Older versions of Acrobat don't work with Word 2003.

But I do not have more than Adobe Reader 7 installed. Your
reference is as if I had Standard or Professional 7.0 installed.

Whenever I open Word 2003, I get "The Creat Adobe PDF monitor
cannot be found" message with instructions to reinstall "Create
Adobe PDF". When I close the message, I get a "Run time error
53" message. I have searched previous comments about this
problem but none solves my problem or they do not give me
enough information to correct the problem. Ideas?
