macro storage

[Mal]

I'm using Word 2000 in Windows XP. When I click on, or open, a new document,
I get the message: 'Could not open macro storage' under an ActiveDocs Lite
logo. I don't know how to rid my documents of this message. Is there anyone
who knows how I might do it?

It would appear that you have an add-in called ActiveDocs Lite; that is
where you need to look for the error.

 

[Mal]

Suzanne,

Thank you for taking the time to answer my querry.

Having traced the file to Adobe Reader 7, I found I couldn't open it for
repair or uninstall. A message appeared that read: <Adobe reader couldn't
open [the file] because it is either not a supported file or has been
damaged>.

Any suggestions?

JoAnne,

Thank you for taking the time to answer my querry.

I followed your advice, but got lost in a thicket of computerese in the
subsequent links.

A solution appeared to lie in the second answer to my post.

Much obliged,

I'm confused. Adobe Reader is designed to read PDF documents. You shouldn't
be trying to open PDFs in Word, nor should Adobe Reader have any effect on
Word.

Suzanne,

The information I posted in my reply warrants your puzzlement, since the
Adobe program (as you pointed out) does have nothing to do with Word.

Let me explain the problem in more depth, if you’d be kind enough to read it
through.

When I click on the macro message after it appears in a Word document (or
sometimes even a file-list), the message disappears and I’m able to complete
a writing task. When I click <Save>, a gratuitously-generated <Do you want
to save changes?> message appears. I click <yes> and the message disappears;
however, the document doesn’t close. As a matter of fact, I’m able to close
the document only by right-clicking in the title bar.

If this isn’t enough, a further message appears when the document eventually
does close: <The disk is full. Free some space on this drive, or close any
unedited documents, etc.,>. I click <close> on this message, and yet even
another appears that reads: <Invalid procedure call or argument>.
Unfortunately, no sort of clicking closes this one.

But enough of the nested messages. In the end, I have to manually turn-off
the
computer.

Can you give me some advice? (This probably sounds as if I’m asking someone
to dredge a lake to recover a trinket.) At this point, though, I’ll even
comply if you should say: “Throw the computer on a rubbish dump and get
another!â€

Thank you.

If ActiveDocs Lite is on the title bar of the error message, then it is the
app (add-in) generating the error message, and that is where you need to
look for the problem, just as I said in my initial reply in this thread.

Having found the <ActiveDoc Lite> add-in, I deleted it. My documents are now
free of the annoying boxes.

But a minor nuisance remains: I cannot save any additions I make to my Word
documents, and the AutoSave feature has disappeared. The gratuitous message
<Do you want to save changes to ...> oddly appears after I click on the
<Save> icon. If I click <yes> then the document remains open and will not
close in its natural
closing-sequence, and if I click <no> then the document closes and removes
the additions I've just made.

Any suggestions on this?

I sincerely hope you are not running without AV protection? Some other
antivirus software products interact with Word also (eg AVG) and create
similar problems to Norton AV
It may be necessary to unregister the appropriate DLL (the example below
being for the popular free version
of AVG) by running the following command line from Windows > Start > Run
regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Free\avgoff2k.dll"

I don't have Norton Anti-virus. Is there a way I can pull up a list
of add-ins? If not, would my re-installing Word and Windows
eliminate the add-in?

Mal

You're still suffering from the effects of some add-in. Have you
disabled the Office Plug-in in Norton AntiVirus (if applicable)?

Having found the <ActiveDoc Lite> add-in, I deleted it. My
documents are now free of the annoying boxes.

But a minor nuisance remains: I cannot save any additions I make to
my Word documents, and the AutoSave feature has disappeared. The
gratuitous message <Do you want to save changes to ...> oddly
appears after I click on the <Save> icon. If I click <yes> then
the document remains open and will not close in its natural
closing-sequence, and if I click <no> then the document closes and
removes the additions I've just made.

Any suggestions on this?

Thanks.

File doc. name, followed by Microsoft Word, appears in the title
bar. <ActiveDocs Lite> appears as the title of the box in which is
written: <Invalid procedure call or argument>. No <Adobe Reader>
title appears in any of the boxes.

So what is in the title bar of these messages: ActiveDocs Lite
(as you initially implied) or something to do with Adobe, or are
they coming from Word?

Suzanne,

The information I posted in my reply warrants your puzzlement,
since the Adobe program (as you pointed out) does have nothing
to do with Word.

Let me explain the problem in more depth, if you'd be kind
enough to read it through.

When I click on the macro message after it appears in a Word
document (or sometimes even a file-list), the message disappears
and I'm able to complete a writing task. When I click <Save>, a
gratuitously-generated <Do you want to save changes?> message
appears. I click <yes> and the message disappears; however, the
document doesn't close. As a matter of fact, I'm able to close
the document only by right-clicking in the title bar.

If this isn't enough, a further message appears when the
document eventually does close: <The disk is full. Free some
space on this drive, or close any unedited documents, etc.,>. I
click <close> on this message, and yet even another appears that
reads: <Invalid procedure call or argument>. Unfortunately, no
sort of clicking closes this one.

But enough of the nested messages. In the end, I have to
manually turn-off the
computer.

Can you give me some advice? (This probably sounds as if I'm
asking someone to dredge a lake to recover a trinket.) At this
point, though, I'll even comply if you should say: "Throw the
computer on a rubbish dump and get another!"

Thank you.

I'm confused. Adobe Reader is designed to read PDF documents.
You shouldn't be trying to open PDFs in Word, nor should Adobe
Reader have any effect on Word.

Thank you for taking the time to post your suggestion, Graham. Suzanne has
given me a couple of ideas, and I'll try these first and see if they help.

I shall by all means try your antivirus hint if the other
"try-these-methods" do not rid my computer of the redundant <Do you want to
save changes to Document?> message.

Suzanne,

The link was useful, and I was able to remove a couple of add-ins I didn't
want.

My autosave problem still occurs, however. I'm going to try another couple
of links, but if they don't work for me then I'll reinstall Windows and Word.

A frequent cause of this error is a missing or corrupted reference.
