This can be caused by one of two issues:
1. Word is started by using the Quick Launch toolbar in the Windows Taskbar.
2. Norton AV is creating a conflict.
Fix for Issue 1. Obtain SP2 for Office XP. Note that SP1 needs to be
installed first. As a workaround, do not use the Quick Launch bar to start
Word.
Fix for Issue 2. Disable the "Office Plug-in" option in Norton. Go to
"Options" and then select the "Miscellaneous" section.
