Error '53" when trying to open Word document

[Tim Fox]

Friends,

When I click on 'Open' in Word 2007, I receive the following message:

Run-time error '53':

File not found: wdwrdm32.dll

As a consequence, I cannot open a Word file. The only way to open a Word
file is to use "My Computer", and double click on the file I wish to open.

If you have encountered this issue, I'd appreciate some help in getting it
solved.

Thank you.

A quick Google search suggests wdwrdm32.dll belongs to Worldox Document
Management System. If you uninstalled that program, then you have a
remnant of it left over and needing manual deletion in your Word startup
folder or Office startup folder.
