Cannot clean files, error 2147467259 in Trados

I have a large Word file that I did using Trados Freelance 2007. When I try to clean it up the following message appears:
-2147467259 Error when converting to Word file.
I have tried splitting it up and I managed to clean some parts. I have rerun it with the Translator's Workbench and the document seems to be fine, but I haven't' been able to get a clean file. Sometimes it appears to have done the job, but when I open the Word document, there it is, uncleaned!

Does anybody have any idea what is wrong? By now I am going nuts.
Thank you

This should work Nov 29, 2009

WORD > HERRAMIENTAS > MACRO > MACROS > TRADOS8.dot > tw4win Clean.Main > EJECUTAR

This should clean your Word file.

Note: Workbench will not save it. You're suppossed to have it on your TM already.

Have fun.
