how to remove automatic virus scanning ?

[Guest]

Whenever Word opens a new document, it automatically runs a virus scan (blue
bar in bottom left hand corner). Is there a way to turn this off?

THanks.

That's not Word - I would look into your AV software for a way to control
it.

If you're using Symantec/Norton AntiVirus, try disabling the
Office Plugin that comes with it. See

programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" for more
