Word 2013 VBA Complie error in hidden module: frmabout

Cannot seem to find a resolution to this problem.
Happening on one system and weirdly only one user profile.
Each time the user of profile one opens or closes MS Word 2013 they receive a dialog box indicating the following.
VBA : COMPILE ERROR IN HIDDEN MODULE: FRMABOUT
THIS ERROR COMMONLY OCCURS WHE CODE IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE VERSION, PLATFORM, OR ARCHITURE OF THIS APPLICATION. CLICK "HELP" FOR INFORMATION ON HOW TO CORRECT THIS ERROR.
On the same system user, profile two opens and closes MS Word 2013 without any error.
Word 2013 seem usable even with the error it's just annoying to the end user.
System is not connecting to a domain or external server.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Hi,
For the error message, the FRMABOUT macro code in that template is not compatible with any recent version of Word. We may try to find the template and rename it.
The template is typically named FRMABOUT.dotm, although the number may be different depending on which version of the wizard you installed.
There are three possible locations to find the template:
%appdata%\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\STARTUP
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\STARTUP
For the first one, paste the path into the address bar of the file explorer and press Enter, so the %appdata% part gets expanded to the proper place in your user profile.
The last of the locations will exist only if you're running 32-bit Office on 64-bit Windows.
Look in each place and rename the file wherever you find it. Then restart Word.

Can you try this?
1) Set the Template Builder for Word Language. After installing BI Publisher Desktop, go to BI Publisher Desktop program menu and set the UI language. Close any running Microsoft Office programs. Steps: All programs -> Oracle BI Publisher Desktop -> Template Builder for Word Language. Select your language and click OK.

I realise this is a common and old problem, but I'm having trouble setting up BI publisher desktop on my laptop with:

Windows 7
Office 2007
I started with this

and I've tried these suggestions

even to the point of removing .NET 4 and re-applying v2
I have re-installed BI desktop quite number of times now, and I've given up trying. Any tips?
Scott

Hi,
I too was facing the same problem while clicking on the log in button on the Microsoft Word.
I just executed the below command and now I am able to login to Bi Publisher through my Microsoft Word.
Run command prompt as Admin
For 64-bit operating systems, type the following:
Regsvr32 "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\MSCOMCTL.OCX"
For 32-bit operating systems, type the following:
Regsvr32 "C:\Windows\System32\MSCOMCTL.OCX"

Compile error in hidden module: module starter (Urgent)

Hi Experts,
I am trying to logon to my word document template which was working fine before and now i am getting the error compile error in hidden module: module starter any advise or help can be greatly appreciated. I am using word 2010 and OBIEE version 11.1.1.5
Thanks,
RC

I was getting same error and able to resolve this problem by following below steps. I have windows 7 and office 2007.
1. Uninstall BI Publisher. Check if all BI Publisher files are clean-up from your computer. Look for template file under C:\Users\UserID\AppData\Local\Oracle\BIPublisher\TemplateBuilderforWord and C:\Users\UserID\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP. Recommended cleaning of temp folder under Window directory.
2.     re-install BI publisher.
3.     Rename MSComctlLib.exd file to MSComctlLib.exd_bak from “C:\Users\UserID\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Forms” directory. I have windows7, Path will not be same on other OS. Recommend searching for this file.
4.     Restart MS Word, then click on Add-Ins->Oracle BI Publisher->Log On.
Hope this will help.

Compile error in hidden module: AZWizardModul.

Receiving the following error message when opening Office Word 2010:
=========================================================
Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications
Compile error in hidden module: AZWizardModul.
This error commonly occurs when code is incompatible with the
version, platform, or architecture of this application. Click ‘Help; for
information on how to correct this error.
=========================================================
Microsfot Office Word 10 has never been a problem.
Recently purchased a new HP i7 laptop, have had problems since..
Have attempted several online solutions but nothing has worked.

Hello StanleyBogacz. I understand that you're encountering this error when launching Word 2010. Is this correct?
The module it is referring to is an Avery Label Wizard template. Do you have Avery Label Wizard? It is not compatible with Office 2010. Here is a Microsoft Answers thread on the topic.
In any case, it would be a good idea to remove this template and attempt to use Word again. Follow these directions as this in a hidden folder within Windows.
Click Start, type "C:\users\\appdata\roaming\microsoft\templates" and press Enter.
Locate the AZWizardModul.
Right click this module and delete it.
Close any Word windows and re-open it.
Verify that the error is no longer there.
The easiest way to find your computer name is to click Start. Then right-click Computer and this will open the System Information window. In the middle area is a section labeled "Computer Name," it will be listed here.
I hope you find this information helpful; have a great day!
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

Error message in excel 2003 : compile error in hidden module could be caused by Adobe Acroate add in

The error message in excel 2003 : "compile error in hidden module AutoExecNew" could be caused by Adobe Acroate add ins, thats waht microsoft told me.I use windows xp service pack3.I have got reader newest version and photoshop 6.0. With this and also with an older reader version I got the error message when opening excel. what can I do?
Best regards Ray

If you have Adobe Reader, you (probably) don't have Adobe Acrobat, a
commercial ($$) product. 5.0 is a very old release.
But you can check if the files are there anyway from long ago. See

Compile error in hidden module: Essbaselogon. This error commonly occurs when code is incompatible with the version, Platform, or architecture of this application

Hi,
I am getting below wrror while accesing the Ecel:
compile error in hidden module: Essbaselogon. This error commonly occurs when code is incompatible with the version, Platform, or architecture of this application

IIRC essbase is a financial reporting add-in (Hyperion, or something similar?).
This message is telling you that the add-in is not compatible with your current software. You should check with the vendor who provided the essbase add-in. Tell them what version of windows and Excel (and maybe Hyperion) you are using, and get a compatible
version from them...
If you do not need or run essbase/hyperion/etc then you should just remove/disable the add-in. If it doesn't show in your add-in menu, then you may have to do a repair installation or re-install Excel
