1.	Solve : Microsoft Word Error Problem?
Answer» I'm on Windows XP Pro, whenever I run Microsoft Word I get an error message saying 'Compile Error in hidden module WfxMacro', 8 times out of ten it wont run and have to restart the program over and over until it works, anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it? Thanx..... :-?Read this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307410/en-us For more: see http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US&q=Error+in+hidden+moduleThat didnt help, because #1 when trying to install the Adobe update, it said I didnt have the software installed to go with the update and #2 when it said to MOVE the files 'pdfmaker.dot' and 'pdfmaker.xla.' a search didnt find them, and when I did a manual search following the sites directions they werent in the folders mentioned either, so I dont think Adobe is the problem, I also dont have Norton AntiVirus software, so the two MAIN causes mentioned on the site dont seem to be the problem....What if you just UNINSTALL Word, reboot and reinstall it? That fixes a lot of software problems.Do you have Adoble Reader installed? Which version? Do you have Adoble Acrobat installed? Google to the rescue again. This seems right on target: PDFMaker is unavailable in an Office application (Acrobat 5.x on Windows XP, 2000) Issue Quote Do you have Adoble Reader installed? Which version? Do you have Adoble Acrobat installed? I dont have anything from Adobe installed, I use a different program for reading PDF files.....Well, I think you need to experiment some here. I'd uninstall your PDF frogram, run CCleaner, then reinstall it. If you still have the problem, do as GX1_MAN suggested re: Office/Word.Doesnt Microsoft Word just come in the general windows install disc? I cant find a program that just installs Word, and I sure aint re-installing windows just for this problem, maybe I should just live with it, its more a nuisance then a major issue....Its not the PDF program thats the problem, this has been around long before I ever installed that program, I just got sick of dealing with it and deceided to see if I could correct the problem....NO, Microsoft Word does not just come in the general windows install disc; Word is part of Microsoft Office, which is marketed separately from Windows. I'm surprised you don't know that. How did you get Word installed in the first place? Go ahead and and run CCleaner. It might solve the problem.My wife got the harddrive from a computer guy, I guess she had him install it.... I run CCleaner everyday, that doesnt help, this has been a problem with Word thats been on my harddrive for at least 2-3 years....It has given you this problem for that long?Again, Word is not a free program; it does not come with Windows. If you don't have, and never had, the CD for it, then I suspect you've got an ILLEGAL installation of Word and whatever other Office components (Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) you have. If the "computer guy" gave a hard drive to you with Word installed on it, and he did not charge you for the software or give you the CD for it, then you clearly have an illegal installation of Word. If you paid for Office/Word, then you should have received a CD for it. I SUGGEST you buy an legitimate copy of MS Office on ebay so that you can remove you existing Word and then do a legal installation of Office. I can't help you any further with this. Thanx for the help.... 8-)
