Word2002_VB runtime error 7 -I can not copy-paste-program won't work

[Randyman]

When I start Word 2002 I get a Microsoft Visual Basic message " Run-time
error '7' out of memory with the choice of 'end' and 'help' in boxes.
If I choose end and continue working, and do a copy and paste procedure, I
can not paste; I'll get a message " insufficient memory, save the document
now." I checked for viruses with Norton Antivirus (my subscription ran out
on week ago), but I have been careful. I'm waiting for my antivirus
upgrade. I do download and use many sources of freeware and shareware. I
seem to have no other problems any where else on my computer. I run lots of
software. This just started in the last week; I have been saving many web
pages in mhtml and PDF form lately if that could do me harm. I sent for the
SP2 CD disk to be mailed to me because I have a slow modem. Please help me
fix Word.

Thanks----Randy

Something has installed an incompatible macro. See

Is there anyway I can selectively delete Word from Office XP (with all its
patches) and reinstall to fix the problem? I will be getting Norton
Antivirus 2005 in abt. 7 days at the most. In the near future I probable
will get Office 2003. I have no idea what gave me an incompatible macro,
but all other programs on my computer are working when opened. I can't even
paste from a Word document into a form on the Web (example= passwords to
online stores that I've got on a Word list); so, I made a Word Perfect copy.
Any other ideas on how to get rid of this macro? Instructions? If I
changed the " start path" which I'm not sure I know how to do, won't this
screw things up when I upgrade Office? I will use the new Norton when I get
it, but I bet this will not detect the problem because my subscription did
not run out very long ago. Are all Macros detected as viruses? Thanks
