Look for an add-in in Word's or the Office Startup folder that includes PDF
in the name and move it out.

Each time I open Word (XP) a dialogue box appears with the message "Create
Adobe PDF monitor cannot be found. Please re-install........." What does
this mean? How can I get rid of it so that it doesn't appear at all? I
have
to click on OK to close the dialogue box each time. I do not have Adobe
PDF
Writer installed on my computer, only Reader.
