Office & productivity software: An error occurred while trying to launch Remove Hidden Data

I've found a solution to the error message regarding the remove hidden data tool that appears in Word when opening a document...try the following:- First verify you have "rhd.dot" is located in:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Remove Hidden Data Tool

I'm not 100% certain but I suspect this location is hard coded in the
DLL.

If the file is present then see what happens if you manually load it:

- Go to Tools/Templates and Add-ins
- Click the "Add..." command
-Navigate to the folder for "rhd.dot" and select it

OR if you are not using "Remove Hidden Data tool" remove it.

To determine the version of the Remove Hidden Data tool that you have installed on your computer, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click Add or Remove Programs.
3. In the list of currently installed programs, click Remove Hidden Data Tool, and then click Click here for support information.
4. Use the following table to determine the release version of the Remove Hidden Data tool that you have installed.
