How to stop the ‘Runtime error 53’ in Microsoft Word

For the past few months every time I open Microsoft Word on my Mac I get this annoying error:

It says ‘File not found’ but the way to repair this error is to delete a file!

To find the file you need to delete do this:

Open Word and go to the menu called Tools: Templates and Add-Ins

Here you’ll see the path to a file (/Library/Application Support etc).

This is the file you need to move to the trash.

Go to your hard drive, Library, etc and find the file, then move it to the trash, then re-start Word.
