Hello,
I wanted to install the toolbar for Dyslexics (dys-ASH87) and then uninstalled it. But now, when I open Word 2013, a dialog box opens automatically on the screen:
Microsoft Visual Basic
Runtime Error 5152:
Invalid File Name. Please try the following operations:
-Check your entry
-Select a file from the list of folders and files.
I followed the procedure provided at this link for installing dys-ASH87:

Who can help me fix this problem?
Thank you in advance
Configuration: Windows 7 Pro

Hello 61dom,
There is probably a macro command that is still lingering despite the uninstallation of your utility.
Let's try the following steps in order, restarting Word normally after each one to check the functionality:
1. Hold down the [Ctrl] key and launch Word. Click [Ok] to accept starting Word in safe mode. If everything goes well, it means there is a add-in that is causing issues (a small software that has attached itself to Word) or that the base template "Normal.dotm" has an anomaly.
2. Rename "Normal.dotm" to "Normal 13-09-2016.dotm" (for example). It is located in C:\Users\Your name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates
3. Try repairing Office:
