Hi everyone,
1. Error:
When I open Microsoft Word 2013 I get the window Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications
Compile error in hidden module: NotOE.
This error commonly occurs when code is incompatible with the version, platform, or architecture of this application. Click Help for information on how correct this error.

After I click OK the window is gone.

2. Error:
When I open a new blank document another window pops up : Microsoft Word The macro cannot be found or has been disabled because of your Macro security settings.
I click Ok and the word is working fine.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Mario

Exit Word and rename the Normal.dotm template (found in your user profile). Then restart Word. Does that improve the situation?

Hi Mario,

Please try to start Word 2013 in safe mode and see if issue persists: Press Win + R and type "winword.exe /safe" in the blank box, then press Enter.

"Compile error in hidden module: NotOE" -

I'm not sure what exactly "NotOE" is, but it usually indicate a third party add-in, you might want to have a check.

Also, please browser to Word Startup folder and see if you have any similar .dot/.xla add-in template files. If yes, try to delete them, then verify result. The path of Word Startup folder can be found by going to FILE>Options>Advanced tab>click File Locations... button under General section.

Hope this helps.

Hi everyone

I do appreciate your support and attention to my problem. The problem was solved when I removed the file WinCalendar.dotm from word startup folder (users/username/appdate/roming/Microsoft/word/startup/wincalendar.dotm).

I copied the file from startup and put it into:  C:/users/username/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Templetes

Everything works fine with no errors when I open Mic. Word.

Thank you. Your attention to this matter was greatly appreciated.  

Thanks for the follow-up!

As you have noticed, poorly designed add-ins can cause all sorts of problems.
