I keep getting this notice, when I open Word 13. Compile error in hidden module: <module name> How do I go about correcting this problem. I have re-downloaded Word and this does not correct the problem. Could you send me step by step instructions on how to correct this problem?

Thank You!

Hi,

Based on the error message, this behavior occurs because an add-in in one of the startup folders  is not compatible with Word. Please try the workaround:

To identify the add-in that may be causing the behavior, follow these steps:

1. Quit all Microsoft Office programs, including Word and Microsoft Outlook.
2. Open the following folder for depending on your version of Word.
   
   For Microsoft Office Word 2013:    Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\Startup
3. Move any files that are located in that folder to your desktop.
4. Open the following folder: Documents and Settings\<var class="sbody-var">username</var>\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\Startup
5. Move any files that are located in that folder to your desktop.
6. Restart Word.
