Recently I downloaded a free trial of Microsoft Office 2003. I had an older
version already installed. Anyway, I am doing online computer courses, and
the files that I had saved on the older version of office, will not open. It
gives me the message that the file is not available. Also, with the online
course, there are assignment files that i have to download. When I try to
open those files I get a "command line option syntax error" and that I need
to type "command /?. I do not know if Norton's has anything to do with it.
I have the Norton's system work 2003 downloaded, but as far as the antivirus,
I removed that file when the subscription was finished. Please help, I have
due dates on these courses and I don't know how to fix the problem.

Hi, kim. Disable the Office Plugin that comes with Symantec/Norton
AntiVirus. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How to use Office
programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" for more information.
