Word doesn't starts fine
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 "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: See section 4 of http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm -- Suzanne S.

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.

Hi Tom,
The MS Word newsgroups are generally setup by Word functionality rather than by version. This is a fine place to post questions and concerns about the 2007 version Be sure to also send your experiences directly to the MS Office 2007 product team by using the 2007 feedback tool from the link below. ======= "Tom Maddox" wrote in message ...

Word doesn't starts fine
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. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Tom Maddox wrote: Following up on my own posting, like a dope, I forgot to say that I'm using the 2007 Beta of Word.

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?

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) -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Tom Maddox wrote: I checked, and it's not.

Graham, you nailed it. I removed both of them from the startup folder, and
that seems to sort things out. My profound thanks. This was, as they say, a learning experience.

Hi Tom,
Be sure to let Microsoft know of your experience in Add-ins not working with Word 2007 using the feedback tool from the link below. The Add-Ins management area can be accessed by using Alt+TO, but you're right, template addins don't always appear in the list, you may need to use the dropdown at the bottom, select 'templates' and then 'Go' to see which ones are loading, or bypassing the Add-Ins option manager, while in Word use Alt+TI. ========== "Tom Maddox" wrote in message ...

Bob,
The sas lilnk takes me to the Send a Smile page, where I literally can do nothing. Also, I installed the ActiveX control, but do I have to be using IE for it work?

Suzanne, thanks for reiterating your message. Persisting, I found something
interesting if stupid. On http://sas.office.microsoft.com/ I can see no links (except for the one to the privacy policy, as I said) or descriptive text. However, when I view the HTML source, there it all is, text and links. I'm not sure what weird code/browser/settings interaction is causing this, but I'm not at leisure to track it down. Odd odd odd. I was beginning to think one of us was nuts, and I was pretty sure who that was Tom "Suzanne S.
