I installed Office 2003 on my computer. I have Windows XP Home. Since I have
installed it I keep getting the Debugger window pop up. I have AOL. IT is
usually a runtime error. It takes a half a dozen clicks it seems to get rid
of it.
I do not even know what a DEBUGGER IS! Or how to use it.
 
Hi csand

What you have is a very poorly-written add-in.

An add-in is a extra code created (generally) by a third party (ie not
Microsoft) to give Word extra functionality. Add-ins are written in code of
one kind or another. Since creating such things is tricky. So while the
developer is working on developing the add-in, problems (aka bugs) can creep
in. And the developer should fix those. One of the tools the developer might
use to help diagnose the cause of problems in his/her code is a de-bugger.
So the debugger is of no use to you. It's only of use to the person who
created the add-in.

A "run-time error" means an error that occurs when the add-in is running. A
well-written add-in doesn't have problems like this and does not take you to
the debugger. So you've got a problem add-in. So you need to identify which
one and get rid of it.

The following article will help you identify your add-ins and show you how
to get rid of them.
