It appears you have some sort of an add-in (well, duh, JoAnn!). I'm going to
assume that this just started so what did you change/download lately? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Orchard Bill" Orchard wrote in message ...

No conscious download, although the strange symbols that appear with the
message have my name included when I select the 'correct' decoding language from the drop down list. "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote: It appears you have some sort of an add-in (well, duh, JoAnn!).

How do I eliminate warning about ~$ZWDAddin upon starting Word
I did a quick Google and found your anwer (always Google first). Apparently
you have a temp file named ~$ZWDAddin. You need to find that file and delete it. It may be a hidden file so you're going to have some digging to do. The biggest clue as to where it is is in the "The addin template is not valid (C:\...STARTUP\~$ZWDAddin.dot)." message that you are probably getting. Follow the path, delete that file, restart Word. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Orchard Bill" wrote in message ...

How do I eliminate warning about ~$ZWDAddin upon starting Word
You have deleted the DataViz "Documents to Go" (I think it's called) add-in
for Word and left behind the "owner file" that was created when it was opened. As JoAnn says, you need to close Word, navigate to the path where the temp file is stored (you may find it listed in Tools | Templates and Add-ins) and delete the file, then restart Word. -- Suzanne S.

It may also be related to a Documents to Go Add-on from Dataviz. Look for a global template with ZWDAddin in the name. -- Cardlaw |

Thanks to all three responders. When I was able to find and delete
~$ZWDAddin.dot, the problem was resolved. It also seems that I can still use 'Documents to go' with my Treo 650. You were great, thank you! "Cardlaw" wrote: It may also be related to a Documents to Go Add-on from Dataviz. Look for a global template with ZWDAddin in the name. -- Cardlaw |
