SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to print a Microsoft Word document, you may receive the following error message:

Compile Error in hidden module EFunctions



CAUSE
This behavior can occur when all of the following conditions are true:
 * E-Stamp is installed on your computer.
 * You then remove E-Stamp from your hard disk.
 * Removing E-Stamp does not completely remove all files associated with the program. E-Stamp files remain in the Microsoft Office Startup, Microsoft Word Startup, or Temp folders on your hard disk.

As a result, you may receive the error message described in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section when you attempt to print a Word document.

 * 1) Right-click Start, and then click Explore to start Windows Explorer.
 * 2) Browse to the Word Startup folder appropriate for your operating system:
