Everytime I open a word document, it runs a virus scan, how can I stop it on
local files.

Microsoft Word does not come with a virus scanning function built in, so
you should direct your question to the unnamed maker of your antivirus
software. If you're using Symantec/Norton AntiVirus, then try disabling
the Office Plugin that comes with it as described in
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How to use Office programs
with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in".
