In case anybody else has run into this, this is from a newsgroup posting from "Seth S." about how to overcome issues with Word after PD11 is installed. The problem is that Word loads the PowerDesigner plug-in by default (everytime you use Word), not just when PowerDesigner needs it. For me it's been a real issue because I use Word as the editor for Outlook, so it keeps getting loaded when I'm in Outlook as well.
One minor correction. That key shows up for me under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, not HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE as the newsgroup post indicated.
===================================================================
The workaround is to change the LoadBehavior of the DLL in Word
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftOfficeWordAddinsWordToRqm11.Connect]
"LoadBehavior"=dword:00000002
LoadBehavior should be set to '3' and you must set it to '2'. After that Ms Word will not load the DLL anymore.
NOTE: The add-in remains listed in the Global Template and Add-in box and the contextual menu named 'requirements' is still on the menu. These things will be address in the cr 376227.
