Word and Norton
Hi. It's often been said in this ng that the Norton add-in is responsible
for much grief in Word, so one should disable it by right clicking on the systray icon, clicking on the Option button, then Misc, then clear the Enable Office plug-in check box. Well, I installed Word 2003 for an editing client yesterday and there was no option button, only display options... Any ideas? |

Word and Norton
With some versions of the Norton product it may be necessary to unregister
the calling DLL by running the following command line from Windows Start Run regsvr32 /u "c:\program files\norton antivirus\officeav.dll" or regsvr32 /u "c:\program files\norton systemworks\norton antivirus\officeav.dll" -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org aalaan wrote: Hi.

Will that just disable the Office plug-in and leave the rest of the Norton
process working correctly? And could you be very kind and remind me briefly what problems are caused to Word if I don't do this. "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

Yes - just the plug-in, which does nothing useful.
Norton puts its messy footprints all over the application and causes a variety of problems to slow things down. A particularly irritating one is that it causes windows to be opened behind the active window locking Word until you discover the cause of the lock-up. Get rid of it! -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org aalaan wrote: Will that just disable the Office plug-in and leave the rest of the Norton process working correctly?

Hi again Graham
"Graham Mayor" wrote in message With some versions of the Norton product it may be necessary to unregister the calling DLL by running the following command line from Windows Start Run regsvr32 /u "c:\program files\norton antivirus\officeav.dll" ***or*** regsvr32 /u "c:\program files\norton systemworks\norton antivirus\officeav.dll" 'OR' Which one? Will it do any harm to try both, or what is the method to discover which? I don't want to mess up my client's machine! |
