Norton Internet Security / Norton AntiVirus

When I attempt to open a Word document, I get a dialog box with the message: "This command cannor be performed because a dialog box is open. Click OK, and then close open dialog boxes to continue." When I click OK, the document opens.

The problem goes away if I disable Microsoft Office Automatic Scan in NIS settings.

This problem is new to me since the 19.5.0.145 update, but apparently it's been around for a while. Microsoft addressed it here:

I have Office 2003.

Is there a better fix than turning off the automatic scan setting?

I have Office 2007

The same problem after installation 19.5.0.145

I have Office 2007

Same problem here. Office 2007.

I'm having the same problem.  I use Office 2007.

I checked the link to Microsoft Support from RonSD.  It says you should rename a file that belongs to Norton and then restart.  I'm not comfortable with doing that unless Norton says so.  Can someone from Norton please help?

I forgot to mention that I have Windows XP SP3.

Gena - Thanks for posting the image.

KBPrez - I agree that renaming an NIS file is probably not a good idea.

If you you have this problem, you can disable the Microsoft Office Automatic Scan setting at NIS > Settings > Computer > Computer Scan. That's been a successful workaround for me, but I hope Norton can give us a better solution.

Thanks for reporting this one to us. We're looking into it. Has anyone seen this with that latest version of Word? Or is it just happening with 2003 & 2007? We do not recommend disabling parts of our product, as that will compromise your system security.

I just updated NIS to 19.5.0.145.  I am running microsoft office 2010 with SP1 and everything seems fine here with the Microsoft Office Automatic Scan option turned On, i will check my other systems in the house though.

I can confirm that all is well with new NIS and Word2010. Still looking for the first problem
