The only reference I can find to runtime error 91 is in the KB article "BUG:
Word 2000 Does Not Quit After Saving Hidden Document Using Automation" at
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=266078, but it doesn't sound likely to
apply to your situation. A more likely explanation is that you have a poorly
written add-in trying to run. Here is Office MVP Beth Melton's general
discussion on runtime errors:
A "runtime" error means that there is an error in a macro or add-in that is
attempting to run. Typically these macros are created by a third-party and
are not part of the Word installation. (They could also be caused by a
malfunctioning macro virus as well)
Many third-party applications will create an add-in and place it in the
Office\Startup folder or use a COM add-in (DLL) to integrate their software
with Word. Another common add-in, the "Microsoft Works Suite Add-in for
Word" can only be found in your Add/Remove programs list.
Aside from the Works Suite Add-in, to determine if you have any add-ins you
can check for them using the following:
Go to Tools/Templates and Add-Ins and see if there are any global templates
or add-ins listed. If you find any then chances are they are located in
your Office\Startup folder or Word\Startup folder.
The location of the Word\Startup folder can be found under
Tools/Options/File Locations and the Office\Startup folder will be located
in the installation path for Office.
If you find more than one add-in move them one at a time until you
determine which one is causing the problem.
As of Word 2000, Word can have COM add-ins, those that are added in via the
Registry rather than the Startup folders. To check for COM add-ins add the
"COM Add-In" command to your toolbar.
- Right-click any toolbar and select Customize
- On the Commands tab, select the Tools category
- Locate COM Add-Ins on the right
- Drag/Drop to a location of your choice
