GLOBAL TEMPLATE/NORMAL.dot constant changes

R

RoninTexas-XP

Recently I had to re-format my hard drive, and reload
Windows-2000, Office-XP & Outlook-XP (not Outlook
Express). I had to then set-up the "global template AKA
normal.dot" template. Apparently I did something in
error. Every time I exit WORD or OUTLOOK, I receive a pop-
up window..."changes have been made that affect the
global template, NORMAL.dot. Do you want to save those
changes?". I get that message even if I open WORD and
immediately close the program.
I have deleted NORMAL.DOT and started from scratch...same
result.
I have searched the MS Knowledge Base without identifying
a solution.
Any suggestions on what setting to change in WORD to stop
this torment would be appreciated.

This reply came from the fine folks at microsoft support
(Laura Microsoft Online Support Engineer)
it worked for us

This issue is a pop issue these days after we launch
Office 2003. Based on our support experience, it is most
likely due to the incompatible antivirus application. To
confirm this on your computer, please disable Norton Anti-
Virus Microsoft Office Plug-In to test again. If
necessary, uninstall the antivirus application. If the
issue stops, we can conclude that this is an antivirus
problem. You may need to contact the antivirus support
for more information.

For more information, please refer to the article below:

with the Norton Anti-Virus Microsoft Office Plug-In

If this problem continues, please perform the following
steps to unregister the Norton AntiVirus OfficeAV.dll
file:

1. Quit all programs.
2. Click Start, and then click Run.
3. Depending on how Norton AntiVirus 2000 is
installed, type one of
the following commands:
o If the Norton AntiVirus program is installed as a
stand-alone
product, type the following command, and then press ENTER

regsvr32 /u "c:\program files\norton
antivirus\officeav.dll"
where c is the drive where Norton AntiVirus is installed.

If the command is successful, you receive the following
message:
DllUnregisterServer in C:\Program Files\Norton
AntiVirus\OfficeAV.dll succeeded.

o If the Norton AntiVirus program is installed as
part of
SystemWorks, type the following command, and then press
ENTER

regsvr32 /u "c:\program files\norton systemworks\norton
antivirus\officeav.dll"
where C is the drive where SystemWorks is installed.

If the command is successful, you receive the following
message:
DllUnregisterServer in C:\Program Files\Norton
Systemworks\Norton AntiVirus\OfficeAV.dll succeeded.
4. Click OK.
5. Restart the computer.


hope this works for you
