Most likely the uninstall left an add-in in Word's Startup folder. Look at
Tools | Templates and Add-ins and see if there is something listed that
looks like it might belong to PLMSWord. If so, note that unchecking it will
just unload it from the current Word session; it won't cure the problem. To
do that, you have to actually move or delete the file from Word's Startup
folder. Find the path to the Startup folder on the File Locations tab of
Tools | Options.
