My status bar is AWOL -- Word 07 - Office Ultimate
The status bar of a new document appears to be AWOL. It says 'Running virus
scan...' and never clears to show Page #, count, word count, and spell check status. I can load a saved file and it will clear. Is it supposed to do this? It's doesn't appear to be causing a problem other than it's annoying. Any ideas? -- howard "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" - Juvenal

Well it is your AV that is at fault and from your symptoms it is probably
NAV. Disable the Office Plug-in under Preference in NAV. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Howard Cross" wrote in message ... The status bar of a new document appears to be AWOL.

But the culprit is probably your antivirus software, not Word. If it's Norton AV, you can turn off the Office module in Norton's "Miscellaneous" menu -- it doesn't really add anything to your safety that the regular AV check isn't already doing.

Good guess Terry, I am using NAV at the moment. I'm upgrading to Symantec
Corporate 10.1 this weekend. Will this take care of the problem? Thanks a ton! -- howard "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" - Juvenal "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ...

Hi JoAnn, I'm aware of this philosophy. I've been using Norton products
since I started with Norton Commander in DOS days and have never had any real complaints about the products. I suspect there's always a first time for everything. -- howard "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" - Juvenal "JoAnn Paules" wrote in message ... Norton and Symantec are the same company.

I too used to be a Norton user but when they started jacking up the costs
for the update renewal from $5 a year to $20 within two years and then stopped supporting the version I owned, I dumped them. I've heard it's even higher now. Plus there are the issues caused by Symantec programs. I have enough issues in my life without adding more. -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "Howard Cross" wrote in message ...

Howard
Make sure to disable the Plug-in before uninstalling NAV... otherwise that problem dll will not be removed and stays registered in Windows cause problems forever.
