Dialog box keeps coming up in Microsoft Word 2007

Question

I am getting so frustrated with the dialog box that keeps coming up when I open any initial "first" file that I have saved in MS Word 2007. I have attached an image of the dialog box.

I have just purchased a new HP laptop from Costco (December 2022). I installed "Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007" suite.

I have searched on the internet for help... but, I have not found any "recent" solutions. There are many solutions, from the past, but none of them have helped me to get rid of the annoying dialog box. :-(

Again, the box comes up ... only after I open up any word document that I have already saved on my computer. After I click on the OK box in the dialog box, I can go ahead and open any other saved word document, and the dialog box does not come up.

System info is: (Edition) Windows 11 Home, (Version) 22H2, (OS Build) 22621.963, (Experience) Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22638.1000.0

I can deal with having to click on the OK box each time, for the first time.... but, it just gets annoying. So, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much.
