Cannot unload/remove add-in Peter A <paitken[ at ]CRAP.nc.rr.com> 4/6/2007 2:04:31 PM I have a Word add-in that I cannot unload or remove. It is not located in the startup folder but in it's own folder. However I cannot clear the checkmark next to it in the Templates and Add-ins dialog box (I clear it but it is checked again the next time I start Word). And, when that template is selected the Remove button is grayed out. What gives? I am able to unload or remove other templates. -- Peter Aitken

Re: Cannot unload/remove add-in "Perry" <drumper[ at ]gmail.com> 4/9/2007 8:31:19 PM There's another location for Word addins, namely The MS Office startup location. Have you checked whether there are *.dot files present in this location? If so, rename any .dot file in that location (or move to a different folder) and restart MS Word.
