Word keep "installing" same component...?
Howdy, I am running Word 2002 under XP... There are certain macros that I use regularly that are behaving in an odd way: When I launch the macro, I (briefly) see an Office dialog that says (in effect) that I am trying to use a component of office that needs to be installed. Then, a moment later that installation "completes." But, the next time I run the macro, exactly the same thing happens, that is, the mystery component has to "install" yet again. What might this be about, and what can I do about it? Sincere thanks, -- Kenneth If you email... Please remove the "SPAMLESS." |

Have the macros always behaved like this, or has the behavior changed? Who
created them? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Kenneth" wrote: Howdy, I am running Word 2002 under XP...

I created the macros, used them for about two years with no difficulty, but then had to reinstall windows on the system. When I re-installed Office, I started to have the difficulty I described. Thanks for any further thoughts, -- Kenneth If you email... Please remove the "SPAMLESS." |

The macros could be corrupt; see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/TemplateBloat.htm. However, note that for more (knowledgeable) suggestions, you may want to ask in a programming newsgroup such as microsoft.public.word.vba.general. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Kenneth" wrote in message news On Fri, 4 Jan 2008 03:02:01 -0800, Stefan Blom wrote: Have the macros always behaved like this, or has the behavior changed?

Then, the "Windows Installer" dialog opened saying "preparing to install." Then, Word launched. (There were no macros involved.) Thanks for your thoughts, -- Kenneth If you email...

It seems as if something is wrong with your installation. Try to repair it.
