{| The information in this article applies to:
 * width="100%"|
 * Word for the Macintosh, versions 5.0, 5.1

SYMPTOMS
When you start Word, you may receive the error message:

&quot;&quot; and &quot;&quot; cannot be used at the same time. &quot;&quot; is currently being used.

CAUSE
This occurs if Word detects multiple instances of a command module. In this case, Word looks for modules in the Word 5.1 Word Commands folder and in the folder containing the Word program. For example, if the Word application resides in the Word folder and a copy of the Spelling command is located in both the Word Commands folder and the Word folder, Word sees both copies and generates the error:

&quot;Spelling&quot; and &quot;Spelling&quot; cannot be used at the same time. &quot;Spelling&quot; is currently being used. NOTE: This error occurs even if the command modules have different names.
