Could you provide some additional information on this?
- What version of Word and what operating system are you using? - Is it a standalone machine or is it networked? - Is it locked down via policies somehow? - Do you have any addins other than the RHD? - Did you or do you have the previous version of the RHD installed? - Try renaming Normal.dot to allow Word to create a new one. (Although I doubt this would be the issue since the RHD doesn't modify your Normal.dot) - Does the error occur if you start Windows in Safe Mode? -- Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Felix, You might want to try re-installing with your macro security level TEMPORARILY set to low. This tool is pretty good but it misses quite a bit of hidden data, it really only targets personal data and actually dropped features when moving up to version 1.1. There is also a new free tool out at www.bitform.net called Bitform Discover. Try it if you really want to see what's hidden in your documents.

XP Profressional, Word 2003
Standalone Not locked down No other add-ins I did have it previously installed. But I removed it because I didn't know what it was. And when I first removed it, I removed the command under "File," now it doesn't come back into Word. It's back in PPoint and Excel, and normal operating. I did rename Normal.dot - no change Don't know if it starts in safe mode, but not sure that will help. ....I think it is something related to the missing command line, and the fact that it was previously installed. This is a new machine -- maybe 1 month old. Also, I did turn off all norton and anti-virus stuff (per your previous postings) and I have the same error. Thoughts?
