suddenly Word takes 30 sec to show any signs of starting. help

I tried using the repair option front the add/delete programs in the control
panel. It completed correctly but did not change the problem.

I think somehow Norton anti-virus is causing this but it's just a guess.

Checking of Word/Office documents can usually be deselected in the AV
program e.g. in Norton AV by turning off its Office Plug-in.

With some versions of the Norton product it may be necessary to unregister
the calling DLL by running the following command line from Windows Start
Run

regsvr32 /u "c:\program files\norton antivirus\officeav.dll"
or
regsvr32 /u "c:\program files\norton systemworks\norton
antivirus\officeav.dll"
