Re: slow opening of office2003 word files

Disable the Office Plugin that comes with Norton Antivirus (but don't disable Norton AutoProtect). See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How to use Office programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" for more information.

I would be pleased to receive help relating to the following issue.

When working in Word, all the files take approx. 30secs to open and about 15-20 sec to close. When trying to open the egg timer is shown and a message at the bottom left corner saying the file is being scanned (Norton Security Installed).
