When I try to print a word doc from the My Documents folder (using right click -> print), word opens and display this message:

Ambiguous name detected: TmpDDE.

The file is not called TmpDDE?

At first it happened only for one or two files, now it happens for all Word files. Anyway think its more likely a problem with Win 2k or Word 2k, if anyone can help find the problem I would be grateful.

OS = Win2k Pro;
Word = Office 2000;

quick google search:

This problem may be resolved by any of the following methods:

Deleting the TmpDDE macro from the MS Word Global Template (Normal.dot) file.

-or-

Renaming the Microsoft Word Global Template (Normal.dot) file.
