Hi,

I have installed and uninstalled some kind of addin and can't find how to
remove an error message it causes.

This causes word to show the following message each time I open it:

Type Mismatch

(the caption of the error window is MyAddin).

I can't find any addin file in the Word's startup directory.
I've reset the standard toolbar.
When I open the VBE I can't see any Projects except for Normal, which does
not have any code in it, and the ThisDocument code (which is empty too).

I've tried closing all the processes of Winword.exe and trying again. That
didn't help either.

Word does NOT show the error message if I run word with the command
parameter -a:

WinWord.exe -a

but how can I solve this without doing so?

Kind Regards,
Amir.

Hi,

Thanks for your response.
Unfortunately, I have already done these steps of checking the current
installed global templates and looking at all startup directories around,
and it didn't solve the error message (There are no global templates
installed nor templates in the startup directories, even not ones which are
hidden files..)

Do you have any idea for that ? (except for reinstalling office, which I
currently won't sure if will solve that problem..)

Kind Regards,
Amir.

Did you follow the steps for checking for COM add-ins?

You were right. It was solved when I removed the COM addin.

Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Amir.
