"The Command Cannot Be Peformed" every time i open a file

[Guest]

I get this error message every time i left click on a file to open it:
"The command cannot be performed. Click OK, and then Close Open Dialogue
boxes to Continue".
I click the "OK" box and the document comes up.

I do not get this error message when i click on the WORD icon itself--iin
that event a blank word page comes up.

i have reinstalled by CD--same thing happens on my brand new computer.

any help appreciated. txs. feb. kcmo

It means there's some bad code running, either in an add-in or in a macro
(ie, not in Word itself).

If you're using Symantec/Norton AntiVirus, try disabling the
Office Plugin that comes with it. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How to use Office
programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" for more
information.
