keep getting runtime error and it ask me if I want to debug...help !!

Its difficult to offer a meaningful suggestion with no more info than you
supplied. What version of Word? What seems to trigger the problem? Is it
happening consistently or randomly? There should also be more detail in that
error message than what you included, and that can make a big difference as
to how the issue should be handled.

Such errors are usually associated with a macro/VBA that isn't able to
execute properly, so one thing you might check is ToolsMacroMacros and see
if there is a macro listed that may have been accidentally saved or may no
longer be appropriate for use. If so, select it and click the Edit button if
you think you can fix it, or, more likely, Delete it instead.

Courtesy of Office MVP Beth Melton:

A "runtime" error means that there is an error in a macro or add-in that is
attempting to run. Typically these macros are created by a third-party and
are not part of the Word installation. (They could also be caused by a
malfunctioning macro virus as well)

Many third-party applications will create an add-in and place it in the
Office\Startup folder or use a COM add-in (DLL) to integrate their software
with Word. Another common add-in, the "Microsoft Works Suite Add-in for
Word" can only be found in your Add/Remove programs list.

Aside from the Works Suite Add-in, to determine if you have any add-ins you
can check for them using the following:

Go to Tools/Templates and Add-Ins and see if there are any global templates
or add-ins listed. If you find any then chances are they are located in
your Office\Startup folder or Word\Startup folder.

The location of the Word\Startup folder can be found under
Tools/Options/File Locations and the Office\Startup folder will be located
in the installation path for Office.

If you find more than one add-in move them one at a time until you
determine which one is causing the problem.

As of Word 2000, Word can have COM add-ins, those that are added in via the
Registry rather than the Startup folders. To check for COM add-ins add the
"COM Add-In" command to your toolbar.

- Right-click any toolbar and select Customize
- On the Commands tab, select the Tools category
- Locate COM Add-Ins on the right
- Drag/Drop to a location of your choice

Yeah, Beth does good work. I have several of her boilerplate pieces filed in
my Drafts folder.
