Default Getting an opening error in Word

I've started getting a new error message when I try to open a Word document
from my Windows Explorer files by double clicking on the file.
Before, doing this would just start Word and then the document would open
within Word.
Now I get an error message window that says:

"The command could not be performed because there is a dialogue box open.
Click OK and then close dialogue boxes to continue."

If I click OK the document then opens. There are no dialogue boxes open that
I can see.
Opening a Word document from inside Word doesn't produce this error message.
Can anyone please advise me on what may be going wrong?
Thanks a lot for any advice.

If you have Norton AntiVirus installed, disable its Office Plug-in.
