    Announcement: Welcome to the updated Office forum

    Effective September 10th, Office, Office for Mac*, and Office 365 for business* forums are consolidated into a new, single Office forum category. We are excited for this change to further simplify community support for all Office customers, regardless of version or subscription method. Besides the forums consolidation the forum topics within the Office category were organized first by services, applications, and key topics, next by platform or device, and finally by Office version.

    Want more information on these changes? Check out this video, review the FAQ, or join the conversation in the Community Participation Center forum.

    We look forward to your Office questions, participation, and expertise in this new forum. 

    *Forum topics available in limited languages.

It's and add-in from Adobe. To disable it, move it out of its present location in

I found it and sent it to trash.  

I also found a copy in /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates/ My Template folder and also trashed that.

Word now seems to quit properly.

I cannot find the file. 

I have search using the finder and it doesn't come up. 

I have looked into the Library and it is not there. 

Any other support?

I followed both Jim and Daniel's directions (see above) and the problem was corrected. 

Did not have to use the finder to do a search, using MacOS 10.10.3, MS Office 2011 and subscribed to Adobe CC.

Remember to go to Library by holding down the option key before clicking on GO.

Thanks. I found the file. For some reason I couldn't find it until I was able to see all my library folders.
