Word is in the background

[Guest]

For some reason, when I start MS-Word & try to modify a document, the program
puts itself in the "background", starts blinking at the bottom of the screen,
and I am unable to do anything in the document until I close out all other
programs.

Any suggestions?

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.
