Error message in Word

C

Hi All

After an upgrade to Office 2003 running on Windows 2000 pro, an error
message occurs every time Word is opened. It says:

"The function you are attempting to run contains macros or content that
requires macro language support. When this software was installed, you (or
your administrator) chose not to install support for macros or controls."

But if I open Word from IE > File > Open... The error does not occur.

An idea as to how this can be resolved.

Many thanks.
