Default Word Hangs a bit!

It could be a minor corruption of normal.dot (or that file has grown
excessively) or more likely it is a function of your virus checker. If you
are using Norton AV, uncheck its office plug-in.
Does it have the same problem if you start Word in its safe mode (hold the
ctrl key whilst starting and confirm the acknowledgement?
If that clears it - see

I have MS Office 2003 and over the past few months Word has developed
a hanging problem whenever I initially bring it up, close a document
or close out of Word. It hangs for about 10 seconds with a white
sceen then is OK until the next time. None of the other Office
programs do this at all. I've tried "repairing" the install I even
removed and reinstalled Word last week and it had no effect. Does
anyone have any ideas why this may be happening?

Thanks,
