Removing WebDocs iSeries Edition Menu Option from MS Word

From Support

If you have a question or seek clarification, please call Technical Support.

Problem:

User wants to remove WebDocs iSeries Edition add-in from menu bar in MS Word.

Solution:

Unregister the addin DLL by running the following command

regsvr32 "c:\windows\system32\wdiseriesaddinword.dll" /UnregServer

You should see a SUCCESS pop up message box if the DLL unregistered correctly.

Each user also has a NORMAL.DOT file for MS Word. Sometimes the menu toolbar doesn't clean itself up, so removing the user's NORMAL.DOT can help get rid of the menu option. NORMAL.DOT is a default MS Word template that each user has.

Here's where it's usually located:

C:\Documents and Settings\<userid>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates

Each user has their own templates folder. Replace the user's user ID where I entered <userid>.

Note: Make a backup copy of NORMAL.DOT before deleting.

Note: The above technique will remove other customizations the user may have done, such as styles and perhaps macros. An alternate method is to do the following:

Right-click anywhere on the menu bar or a toolbar
Click on Customize...
With the customization dialog box open, click the WebDocs iSeries menu and drag it off the menu bar
Close the customization dialog box
Shut down Word
