In my case, I had installed a complement add-in from Mendeley and that was causing the problem. I had to locate (in the word tools menu: forms (.dotm) & complements) and manually erase the Mendeley file. That solved it!

I'm running a Beta version of Word for Mac, 16.97 and I recently encountered a 4707 error whenever opening Word and I can't debug or clear the error message without Force Quitting the application.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Mac beta 15.5 + Word 16.97 — deleting .dotm files seems to fix my problem too.
Just searched for .dotm
, deleted them, and restarted Word.
I had only 4: Normal, LinkCreation, Zotero, and Normal Email. Don’t think I use any of them, so I kept only Normal (seems like the default).

I have Word Version 16.97 (25051114) and also have Adobe Acrobat installed. I solved this issue by deleting LinkCreation.dotm in /Users/USERNAME/Library/Group Containers/XXXXXXXXXX.Office/User Content.localized/Startup.localized/Word
