SYMPTOMS

In Word 2002 when you try to run one of the macros in either the Macros9.dot file or the Support9.dot file, you may receive the following error message:
Errors occurred during load. The macro cannot be found or has been disabled because of macro security settings.

CAUSE

This problem may occur if the Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library is missing or is not referenced in Word.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, locate the Fm20.dll file on your computer, and then use Microsoft Visual Basic Editor in Word to manually add a reference to this file.

Note The Fm20.dll file is typically located in the drive:\System folder or the drive:\System32 folder, where drive is the local drive or network path that contains the Microsoft Office 2000 setup files. If you do not find the Fm20.dll file on your computer, repair or reinstall Office 2000 to replace it, or manually extract this file from the Office 2000 installation media.
