Hi Per,
Where exactly is the code that you are using? Is it in a special template or did you keep it in the normal.dot?
I've searched the Knowledge Base with this error and found one hit:
WD2000: Error Message: "Can't Exit Design Mode..." After You Add a Control
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q212559
Hope this helps,
regards,
Astrid
