compile error in AutoExec

Hi,
Is there a fix available in word if anytime I start up the program, a popup box appears before doing anything that says, "Microsoft Visual Basic - compile error in hidden module: AutoExec - Okay/Help". When I press Okay, the box diappears and the program appears to work fine. I have Microsoft Works 2003 ed. on a Dell Pent4 using Windows XP. Any help would be appreciated.

I get the exact same message with the addition of a message "Compile error
in hidden module AutoExit" whenever I close Word. I'm also running Office
XP, but with Windows 2000 Prof on a Dell laptop.

Got rid of both messages - they were coming from an Adobe Acrobat macro.
