Word doesn't starts fine

[Guest]

Hi guys,


Every time I start Word XP appears the following warning:

"Compile Error in hidden module: AutoExec".

After that I can be able to work without incidences.

Any help will be welcomed,

 

[Graham Mayor]

You either have a badly written autoexec macro in normal.dot, you have an
add-in installed that is defective or more likely for an older version of
Word (check tools > templates & add-ins) or youj have picked up a macro
virus. The second suggestion is the most likely. Remove or replace the
defective add-in and the problem will go away.

hi Graham,

I've tried replace it for another NORMAL.DOT but following happens the same.

When I close the Word this says: Compile Error in hidden module: AutoExec

I'll install again office xp.

Thanks a lot for your help,

 

[Graham Mayor]

You obviously haven't read what I posted earlier. The problem is most likely
attributed to an add-in. Re-installing will make not the slightest
difference as a reinstallation will not affect the defective files.

Using both Enric's and Suzanne's advice, I've uninstalled the Creative
Commons add-in, which fairly obviously caused the Autoexec error to pop up,
but I still get the same error message on opening and closing Word. So I
tried deleting normal.dot, and that didn't help. Any other ideas? It's a
little but utterly maddening thing.

Thanks,

Tom

Following up on my own posting, like a dope, I forgot to say that I'm using
the 2007 Beta of Word. I *thought* this was the appropriate group; if not,
please let me know and, if you can, tell me where the appropriate group is.

Hi Tom,

The MS Word newsgroups are generally setup by Word functionality rather than by version. This is a fine place to post questions and
concerns about the 2007 version

Be sure to also send your experiences directly to the MS Office 2007 product team by using the 2007 feedback tool from the link
below.

I have no inclination to mess around with beta software, but if 2007 is
anything like earlier versions, uninstalling thjird party software does not
necessarily uninstall the addins. Check whether the add-in template is still
loaded.

I checked, and it's not. There's PDFMaker.dot, context_10.dot, and the Smart
Tags, Measurement Converter and Person Name (Outlook e-mail recipients). And
the add-in that started all this isn't even listed in the Inactive
Application Add-ins list.

Urghh.

But that's what I get for messing around with beta software, right? (I
should add that I otherwise love Word 2007 so far--the interface is a great
improvement.)

Thanks. Any other ideas? Anyone who's wise in the ways of this beta?

Whatever the mechanics of loading 2007's add-ins, an incompatible add-in
clearly is still present, otherwise you wouldn't be getting errors from the
macros it contains. Try removing *all* the add-ins and reintroduce those
that are compatible (probably not PDFMaker.dot which needed an update to
make it work with 2003! - and I don't know context-10.dot)

Graham, you nailed it. I removed both of them from the startup folder, and
that seems to sort things out.

My profound thanks. This was, as they say, a learning experience.

Hi Tom,

Be sure to let Microsoft know of your experience in Add-ins not working with Word 2007 using the feedback tool from the link below.

The Add-Ins management area can be accessed by using Alt+TO, but you're right, template addins don't always appear in the list, you
may need to use the dropdown at the bottom, select 'templates' and then 'Go' to see which ones are loading, or bypassing the Add-Ins
option manager, while in Word use Alt+TI.
