I use Trados 7.0 built 719 and XP and Word 2003 with Service Pack II.
My Trados menu is gone. I've tried renaming and finally deleting normal.dot but doesn't help. I've tried the flagman, one click and double click but doesn't make any changes. I would prefer not to re-install Trados just now, does anybody have another solution? My usual workbench tool bar is still there but I need Fix document!!! Thanks

TOPIC STARTER | Getting desperate; now run time error 424 and still no menu!!! | Feb 7, 2006 |
I tried ALL that, re-installed, Trados.template (were all in place), everything! But no, my menu is gone and not coming back! Any other solutions? I've read all the threads on translation zone and no solution there either.
Actually since re-installing Trados, every time I open Word, I get a visual basic run time error 424!! Help me somebody !

| I have the same problem | Feb 7, 2006 |
In my case, it seems that using the full version of Adobe Acrobat 7.0 messes up Trados in some way.
Nobody has been able to help me with this problem so far.

| Exactly the same problem here | Nov 30, 2006 |
I just realize that I installed Acrobrat 8 Professional and I started getting the 424 message each time I start and I also have no Trados and no Multiterm drop down menu
| | | |
| Exactly the same problem & without solution | Dec 12, 2006 |
I've also replaced Trados7 template making a copy of the template located in Trados7\Templates folder to
C:\Documents and settings\[user]\Datos de programa\microsoft\word\startup
Repairing or reinstalling Trados does not help either. I also work with Acrobat Professional 7.0... is there any connexion between these tools?
Hope someone can help me. Thanks.

| Problem solved - thanks to suggetions found here! | Jan 19, 2007 |
Many thanks to Jerzy and Patricia!!!!
From one minute to the other my trados Menu Item was gone. It looks like this does have something togehter with my attemt to install SP2 of Duden Korrektor Puls 3.5.
The combination of Jerzy´s suggestion (deinstall the stupid pdf feature no one actually needs) and Patricia´s tip to copy a "fresh" Trados dot into the start-up folder resolved the problem
Thanks guys - you are GREAT!

Hi everyone!
I faced this problem recently and found that it is something related to Acrobat PDF Maker, it was Acrobat Premium 8 in my case.
At the end, I managed to fix it!!
If you don't have any special in your Normal.dot(if you use some macros, it is better to make a reserve copy of them in to your hard disc by opening VBA Editor), just delete it from
"C:\Documents and Settings\User Name \Application Data\Microsoft\Tamplates"
--------------------------
For my friend, this method did not help. But by looking at TRADOS6.tmp in "C:\Documents and Settings\User Name \Application Data\Microsoft\Word\START UP" I found it that the size of this file has been changed. Originally TRADOS6.tmp is 317KB. And worse, a copy of TRADOS6.tmp has also been changed in "C:\Program Files\TRADOS\T65_FL\TT\Templates" (NOTE: this path may be different in your case, it depends on how the TRADOS was installed). Then I found an "untouched " copy TRADOS6.tmp in installation directory under "{your installation directory}\trados-6-5-LSP\Program Files\TRADOS\T65_LSP\TT\Templates", copied and paste it to "C:\Program Files\TRADOS\T65_FL\TT\Templates" .
Now, every thing is perfect!!
Every thing will be ok!!

That is the only thing that worked for me!
I've worked without my Trados menu for almost 3 years and now it's back!
I can't tell you how glad I am!
Many thanks!

Hi everybody,
thanks for posting and for all your assistance with this awful problem.
This one was the actual solution that worked for me. My environment is:
Windows XP SP3.
MS Office 2003 SP3.
SDL Trados 2007.
I also have Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.3, but found no improvement by uninstalling the Office Macro.
It appears that some feature within the standard template (Normal.dot) prevents all the features included in the Trados template from working. The offending ones could have been be Acrobat settings, which I surely had used in the past but I don't currently use.
As Word templates may reside in multiple folders, you should locate every one and remove it from all of them, EXCEPT from other users' folders.
The usual suspect folders may include these:
For ALL computer users: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\STARTUP
For EACH computer user: C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates
For ALL computer users: C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP
Do not forget: some of these items may be different within your system:
Drive 'C:' also known as System Drive could be any other letter.
'Application Data' and 'Templates' folder names are localized.
The 'Program Files' folder name is also localized.
Be aware that all your styles, tools and format settings will disappear from MS Word, FOR EVERY USER IN WINDOWS XP, unless you place a copy of the Normal.dot template in their private folders (C:\Documents...\[UserName]\...\...\Templates).
You can still rebuild them manually, and they will be stored into your new version of Normal.dot that will be created by MS Word, which won't interfere with Trados anymore.
Try to be conservative, not messing with templates in the future: stick a note on your screen reminding you not to do it, nor to install any MS Word-related software that may modify or remove either the tradosX.dot or the normal.dot templates for their own use without carefully planning and running a templates backup and restore procedure to ensure you don't lose your appreciated Trados menu and toolbar gadgets.
Bye.
