VBA Error in MS-Word

[Piyush]

Every time I exit MS-Word I get the following Visual
Basic error:

Run-time error '13':

Type mismatch

I click on help in the error message box and a blank help
window appears. Clicking on "end" allows Word to close.
The "continue" and "debug" buttons in the error message
box are grayed out (not functioning). I wanted to find
out how to stop this error message and if I am
accidentaly destroying some files. These problems
appeared after I installed MS-Frontpage 2000
..

Hi, Piyush,

This is a variation of the problem discussed in section 4 of the article at
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/AppErrors/ProbsOpeningWord.htm: a macro in a
global template is malfunctioning. In this case it's an AutoClose or
Document_Close procedure instead of one that runs when the program opens.
The cure is the same: locate the global template and remove it. The article
explains how.

I find quite often the culprit is Adobe Acrobat's PDFMaker add-in,
which incidentally sometimes installs itself in more than one place,
so you need to find them all.
