"Create Adobe PDF monitor can not be found" dialogue on word 97

[Guest]

Had to reinstall my Word97 due to a crash. Now when I start Word I get a
dialogue saying"The create Adobe PDF Monitor cannot be found.Please reinstall
Create Adobe PDF." I reinstalled Adobe Reader 7.0 and have that and Acrobat
Reader 5.0 on the computer but "search" cannot find Create Adobe PDF file.
Word works o.k. after removing dialogue. How do I get rid of the dialogue?
Windows xpsp2 os.

It sounds like you may have had Adobe Acrobat on that system at one time.
I'm not talking about the free Reader program - that's different.

A quick Google search yielded this:

I believe some old versions of Acrobat Reader (Version 4?) had a module for
writing PDFs. This is not included with more recent versions. To create PDFs
you need a PDF writing tool. However you still have a macro or an add-in
that is looking for the old module, which is no longer present. You will
continue to get the warning until you remove the macro code (in a macro
called autoexec or autonew) or remove the add-in - see
