I'm not sure if anyone is still following this thread but I've just
encountered this issue myself and I believe it is due to a conflict
between it and another add-in and/or a customized File menu.

The primary action of the RHD utility when Word starts is to add-in
RHD.dot which supplies the "Remove Hidden Data" command under the File
menu below the "Save as Web Page" command.

What I encountered is another custom command is placed in the same
position and somehow this is creating a conflict. I haven't determined
exactly what is happening just yet but that's something I plan on
looking into.

In any event, check the File menu commands and see if there is a
command between "Save as Web Page" and above either "File Search" or
"Search" depending on the version of Word you are using.

I did put the security level down, I think even to zero. No change.

I would like the add-in to work somehow... but am thinking that I
need to
uninstall word and reinstall the entire baby...

Felix,

You might want to try re-installing with your macro security level
TEMPORARILY set to low. This tool is pretty good but it misses
quite a
bit of hidden data, it really only targets personal data and
actually
dropped features when moving up to version 1.1.

There is also a new free tool out at www.bitform.net called Bitform
Discover. Try it if you really want to see what's hidden in your
documents.

Thanks for the additional information, Felix. It looks like you just
have the standard menu items.

I've also found that others are unable to reproduce the issue I
encountered so what I came up with is close but not the exact problem.
I'm still digging into this - I'm not sure how long it will take to
find the answer but now that I'm able to reproduce the issue I may be
able to find the cause. Could take some time though but I'll report
any findings on this thread.

There is a long chain of responses to this initial message. I'm having
exactly the same issue, but I don't see a resolution. (Windows SP2, Office
2003, newest edition of RHD). Installation worked on my laptop, but not on
my desktop. Any new learning on this?

Windows 2000 SP4, Office 2003, RHD 1.1

Any known reasons why the RHD tool won't install properly on this system?

When I open an Office product after attempting to install the tool I get the
message that it did not install correctly and I should try again. It never
works.

Thanks,

Tom

I am still waiting for a suggestion... I uninstalled the add-in until this
problem is solved...

Here's my situation:

2 desktops with virtually identical hardware running Windows XP SP2 and
Office 2003 SP1 with all the latest patches.

On desktop A, the remove hidden data tool installs perfectly and runs
in Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

On desktop B, the remove hidden data tool installs perfectly and runs
in Excel and PowerPoint but not Word.

Both desktops use 3rd party apps that add a command between the "Save
As Web Page" and "File Search" commands on the File menu, so I don't
think that's the problem, as speculated by MVP Beth.

The only difference that I see between desktop A and desktop B that
could account for the remove hidden data tool working on A and not
working on B is this:

Somehow, desktop B has Asian fonts enabled on the normal.dot template
(specifically the Korean font Batang). I collaborated on a document
with someone from Korea using desktop B and somehow the Batang font got
into desktop B.

Could Asian or other non-English fonts be the source of the conflict?

Is this thread still active?

I wonder if anyone is still reading this thread?

I believe I figured out the problem and a "hack" solution.

Beth Melton is correct. The Remove Hidden Data Tool wants to install
itself between "Save As Web Page" and "File Search."

If you have another command/macro in that spot because of a 3rd party
app (in my case, TimeMatters), then there is a conflict and you get
that silly error message.

In my case, although TimeMatters (and its macro) is installed on both
Desktop A and B, for some reason on Desktop A, the remove hidden data
tool installed correctly on A and placed the "Remove Hidden Data"
command on the File menu UNDER the "File Search" command.

All I did to solve the problem was copy the "RHD.DOT" from Desktop A
and put it into the appropriate folder into Desktop B.

Voila, it worked! Why it installed one way on Desktop A but not on
Desktop B is beyond me. I do have more apps and background processes
on Desktop B, so maybe there was a conflict, but who knows?

I tried to attach my copy of "RHD.DOT" (which puts the "Remove Hidden
Data" under the "File Search" command and avoids the conflict described
above), but this website won't let me.

If someone could let me know how I can post a copy of the RHD.DOT "fix"
for the rest of you, I'd appreciate it.
