The message is coming from DataViz. Chances are you've (partially)
uninstalled the program, leaving an add-in in Word's (or the Office) Startup
folder that is calling this no-longer-available library. Or it could just be
that the add-in doesn't work with your current version of Word. In any case,
if you remove the add-in, you should lose the message.

How do I remove the addin?

First step: look in Tools | Templates and Add-ins to see if an add-in is
listed that looks related. If so, find the path, navigate there, and delete
the file.

If that exercise bears no fruit, look for a COM add-in; see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CheckIfAddinsInstalled.htm. Although
some COM add-ins will not be detected this way, I don't think this would be
one of them.

That fixed it.

Thank you, that was driving me crazy!
