How to stop "dialog box is opened" at start up?

[rgthyj]

When starting Word2003, a box appears-"The command cannot be performed
because a dialog box is opened. Click OK, and then close open dialog boxes
to continue." Then click "OK" and document opens. How to stop this?
Thank You.

If you use Symantec/Norton AntiVirus, try disabling the Office Plugin
that comes with it, but do not disable Norton AutoProtect. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How to use Office programs
with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" for more information.
