Everytime Word 2010 is started, either by opening a Word file or opening Word to create a new document &quot;Can't execute code in design mode&quot; message appears. &nbsp;If you are opening a file it opens in &quot;Design&quot; mode and you can close it an work normally. &nbsp;If you open Word to create a new document, you can close the message and Word works normally. &nbsp;Therefore, it is not causing any problems, it would just be nice to not have the message appear. &nbsp;I have deleted the &quot;normal.dotm&quot; file, clear out the cache, did a lot except remove and reinstall Office 2010. &nbsp;It is not happening in any other program in the Office suite. &nbsp;Office was upgraded from 2007 to 2010 and that is when the problem began. &nbsp;Is it a registy issue? &nbsp;Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
