Compile error in hidden module: ThisDocument (Microsoft Word 2002)

Question

I recently uninstalled LEC Power Translator, but I can't get rid of the macro. I've tried using the "Templates and Add-ins" tool, and while it got rid of the bar, it re-appeared when I opened a new document. I've tried using the "Detect and Repair," both with and without restoring default settings. I've tried using Visual Basic Editor. I've tried uninstalling Word, and then re-installing it. I've tried deleting the Power Translator file from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office10\Startup. I've tried changing my security settings for macros. I've tried re-installing Power Translator, and then trying all of the things listed above, plus a few others. HOW THE HELL DO I GET RID OF THIS DAMNED THING!?

Answer 1

Assuming the Power Translator template has been removed from the startup area, the next thing to try is to replace your Normal.dotm template since the problem code could have been injected into that.

With Word closed, rename your Normal.dotm template and restart Word.

Answer 2

So, does nobody have any other solutions?

Answer 3

An interesting thing that I've just found is that it doesn't happen when I run Word as an administrator.

Answer 4

Nope. That one's empty. Thanks, though.

Answer 5

There's another place to look for the Power Translator file. In Windows Explorer, type or paste into the address bar the expression

 %appdata%\Microsoft\Word\Startup

and press the Enter key. This is a different Startup folder than the one in the Program Files (x86) area. If you find the file there, delete it and restart Word.
