I'm using Word 2000 in Windows XP. When I click on, or open, a new document,
I get the message: 'Could not open macro storage' under an ActiveDocs Lite logo. I don't know how to rid my documents of this message. Is there anyone who knows how I might do it? Mal |

It would appear that you have an add-in called ActiveDocs Lite; that is
where you need to look for the error. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne,
Thank you for taking the time to answer my querry. Having traced the file to Adobe Reader 7, I found I couldn't open it for repair or uninstall. A message appeared that read: Adobe reader couldn't open [the file] because it is either not a supported file or has been damaged. Any suggestions? Mal "Suzanne S.

JoAnne,
Thank you for taking the time to answer my querry. I followed your advice, but got lost in a thicket of computerese in the subsequent links.

I'm confused. Adobe Reader is designed to read PDF documents. You shouldn't
be trying to open PDFs in Word, nor should Adobe Reader have any effect on Word. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne,
The information I posted in my reply warrants your puzzlement, since the Adobe program (as you pointed out) does have nothing to do with Word. Let me explain the problem in more depth, if youd be kind enough to read it through. When I click on the macro message after it appears in a Word document (or sometimes even a file-list), the message disappears and Im able to complete a writing task. When I click Save, a gratuitously-generated Do you want to save changes? message appears. I click yes and the message disappears; however, the document doesnt close. As a matter of fact, Im able to close the document only by right-clicking in the title bar. If this isnt enough, a further message appears when the document eventually does close: The disk is full. Free some space on this drive, or close any unedited documents, etc.,. I click close on this message, and yet even another appears that reads: Invalid procedure call or argument. Unfortunately, no sort of clicking closes this one. But enough of the nested messages. In the end, I have to manually turn-off the computer. Can you give me some advice? (This probably sounds as if Im asking someone to dredge a lake to recover a trinket.) At this point, though, Ill even comply if you should say: €œThrow the computer on a rubbish dump and get another!€ Thank you. Mal "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: I'm confused.

app (add-in) generating the error message, and that is where you need to look for the problem, just as I said in my initial reply in this thread. -- Suzanne S.

Having found the ActiveDoc Lite add-in, I deleted it. My documents are now
free of the annoying boxes. But a minor nuisance remains: I cannot save any additions I make to my Word documents, and the AutoSave feature has disappeared. The gratuitous message Do you want to save changes to ... oddly appears after I click on the Save icon. If I click yes then the document remains open and will not close in its natural closing-sequence, and if I click no then the document closes and removes the additions I've just made.

Thank you for taking the time to post your suggestion, Graham. Suzanne has
given me a couple of ideas, and I'll try these first and see if they help. I shall by all means try your antivirus hint if the other "try-these-methods" do not rid my computer of the redundant Do you want to save changes to Document? message.

Suzanne,
The link was useful, and I was able to remove a couple of add-ins I didn't want. My autosave problem still occurs, however.
