File conversion - ~$ALMAPP error message

[michaelh42]

Hi All,
When I open word or other office program I am receiving this error message.
i am not opening any old file just the program. I am running Office 2003 on
Windows XP pro. I tried to repair office with the install option but that
did not work. If I close the message eveything is fine as far as I can tell.
This is just an annoyance I would like to remove. Help
Michael

You have an owner file (~$ALMAPP.dot) left over from a Palm add-in. With
Word shut down, navigate to the Office Startup folder and delete this file.
