I have Microsoft Office version 16.63.1 Whenever I open Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, I receive this annoying error message three times before it goes away.

Dear Toni,

Greetings! Thank you for posting in the Microsoft forum.

Please try the steps below, see if this makes any difference:

1. Close all Office applications

2. Go to /Users/UserName/~Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/User Content/Startup/Word

3. Remove linkCreation.dotm, re-start Word and check the status.

4. Remove the SaveAsAdobePDF.ppam and SaveAsAdobePDF.xlam from the PowerPoint and Excel folders next to the Word folder.

5. Launch Excel and PowerPoint and go to the menu Tools -> Excel Add-ins... and Tools -> PowerPoint Add-ins..., respectively, and remove the Save as Adobe PDF add-in, by unchecking it and removing it with the "-" button and then click OK.
