Cannot unload/remove add-in

[Peter A]

I have a Word add-in that I cannot unload or remove. It is not located
in the startup folder but in it's own folder. However I cannot clear the
checkmark next to it in the Templates and Add-ins dialog box (I clear it
but it is checked again the next time I start Word). And, when that
template is selected the Remove button is grayed out.

What gives? I am able to unload or remove other templates.

There's another location for Word addins, namely
The MS Office startup location.

Have you checked whether there are *.dot files present in this location?
If so, rename any .dot file in that location (or move to a different folder)
and restart MS Word.

Office Startup path:
(usually)
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OfficeXX\STARTUP
