Does MicroSoft Word have a bug?

I initally set up an ADOA connection to a database to write and retrieve information to Access from a Word document. Everything was fine until I started modifying the code and evidently screwed something up. Now everytime I open word is pops up a window that says, "Ambiguous Name ~". When I try to delete the macro that I screwed up it won't let me save the document and pops up another window that says, "Disk is full" (which I know it is not). I have already tried deleting the Normal.dot template and restarting word but this does not help.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
 
You have two (or more, but most likely two) somethings in your code that are trying to use the same name. That darned "Disk full" crap is ...a bug, well maybe you can call it a bug, don't know.

Make sure you have found ALL possible instances of normal.dot. Is your code in normal.dot? Or some other file?

Actually, there is nothing in my code making reference to the same name. This is just a bug that Microsoft has and they are aware of it but I have removed my Normal.dot template as they suggested in order to open my file and make changes and save it again but it still will not let me save the file after I delete everything in my code. My code is not in Normal.dot template.
