When I finish composing a document and go to "Save As" in the FILE
pull down menu I get a small window titled MICROSOFT VISUAL BASIC. In
the window it says, "compile error in hidden module:Main". There are 2
buttons, 1 says ON and the other says HELP.If I click on OK, the
window goes away, (no SAVE AS action)

If I click on HELP a new window appears titled "Microsoft Office XP
Professional with Front Page". In the box it says, "Please wait while
windows configures Microsoft XP Professional with Front Page"

Then it wants me to insert "microsoft Office XP Professional with
Front Page"disk and click OK.


I do not have Windows XP Professional, I have Windows XP Home Edition.

This whole thing started when I loaded the language recognition
software, IBM's ViaVoice. In an attempt to fix the problem I went to
the Control Panel and removed theViaVoice software but that did not
fix the problem.

I assume the ViaVoice had a file conflict somewhere with my MS Word.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ignore the "as soon as Word opens" part; the problem you have is the same (an
add-in with a badly written or outdated macro). Look in the Startup folder for a
file whose name indicates that it came with ViaVoice; if nothing is obvious,
then remove all files from the folder and put them back one at a time until you
find the one responsible for the problem.
