Error on opening Word

[Aless]

Word 2003

Every time I load the program a blank document loads and then I get the
following error message:

Microsoft Visual Basic
Run-time error '-2147352565 (8002000b)':
Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled or of a
type that does not accept the focus.

When I click the End button on the message the program becomes available for
use as
normal.

Anyone know what the cause of the error is and how I can get rid of this
happening each time I open Word?

Many thanks

Al

It sounds like an add-on or other macro is misfiring. I'd take a look here
for steps to diagnose and correct the problem:
