How can I remove the Power Designer add=in from MS Word (and all other
office applications)? I am not using it in conjunction with MS Word and
the integration is plain annoying.

Thanks.

Indeed this is irritating.

Here is some information for a case I filed on this (see below) including
CR#. I needed to edit the global template to remove the menu option. It has
been a few months so I don't remember the details but it wasn't as
straightforward as I hoped. I used Winword Help to figure out how to remove
the menu option.


In regards to, "How do I remove the WordToRqm.dot add-in in Winword"

As I mentioned this morning this issue has been identified as a bug. The
workaround is to change the LoadBehavior of the DLL in Word

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\WordToRqm11.Connect]
"LoadBehavior"=dword:00000002

LoadBehavior should be set to '3' and you must set it to '2'. After that Ms
Word will not load the DLL anymore.

NOTE: The add-in remains listed in the Global Template and Add-in box and
the contextual menu named 'requirements' is still on the menu. These things
will be address in the cr 376227.


Hope this helps,
Seth
