Word 2003

Hi,

When I double-click a document (for example, in Microsoft Windows Explorer)
to open the document in Microsoft Office Word 2003, I receive the following
error message:

The command cannot be performed because a dialog box is open. Click "OK" and
then close open dialog boxes to continue.

I checked the Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 827732, the work around
suggested:

Method 2: Remove the Template from Your Startup Folder
To remove a template from your startup folder, follow these steps:
1.. Quit Word 2003.
2.. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click
Windows Explorer.
3.. Locate one of the following folders:
Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\Startup

Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Startup folder

4.. Double-click the Startup folder to open it.
5.. In the right Windows Explorer pane, click to select the template that
you want to remove, and then press the DELETE key.
When trying this method I got no template to remove in the Startup folder,
but the behavior is still there.

Any help, is very much appreciated.

If you are using Norton Anti Virus, open NAV and disable the Office Plug-in
and test again. If that fails, try reregistering Word by using Start, Run
and typing in

winword /a

and press enter. That will reregister Word in Windows again.
