Can anyone help me with this message I am receiving when using Word?
The window opens when I close a document. This is what the message
says...

Word could not fire event.

Help please...

This often means that Word can't find Visual Basic.

What version of XL and OS are you using?

Hui Cheryl:

Word is looking for Visual Basic runtime engine.

Either you do not have Visual Basic for Applications installed (it's in the
Value Pack on your Office CD), or:

You have picked up a virus that relies on functions of VBA that are not
available in Mac Word.

If it is the latter, you should be very grateful that it did not work :)

For peace of mind, send that document back to someone with a PC that has an
up-to-date virus checker and ask them to scan it for you. It may be
infected...

Cheers
