Word: Copy-Paste Function Not Possible; Issue with Visual Basic?

Hello all,

I am facing an issue on Word 2007 SP3 where, when I open Word, a popup appears saying, "Microsoft Visual Basic: compile error in hidden module: Globals".

Also, when I try to paste text into a Word document, the following popup appears: "Microsoft Visual Basic: Compile error in hidden module: BBPT_modUtility_Word_New" and I cannot paste any text. 

There is an addin called bloomberguilegacy.dot. If I delete the addin from the Word start folder, both popups do not appear and I'm able to copy and paste text.

However, a few days later, the problem reoccurs and we are unable to cut and paste to Word.

I thought it might be related to "Bloomberg Office Tools" so I upgraded to the newest version, but the issue reappears.

It seems that deleting the dot template file is a fix, so is anyone aware of a permanent solution?

You might want to ask whoever is putting bloomberguilegacy.dot on your computer.
