I have a problem loading the Symbol Dialog Box in WORD 2003
I have even added a shortcut to this on the toolbar, but when I click on it
nothing happens. I have updated to office service pack 2, but that did not even help. |

I have a problem loading the Symbol Dialog Box in WORD 2003
When you click on Insert | Symbol what happens? Is it greyed out?

I have a problem loading the Symbol Dialog Box in WORD 2003
When I click on either the Symbol under Insert, or the shortcut (omega) icon
I added to the toolbar, the WORD window Grey's out and stays like that until I click somewhere on the document, then goes back to normal. I do not have a separate Dialog Box that pops up for the Symbols. I have made sure that nothing is opening off screen, and all of the other options that will bring up a separate Dialog Box work just fine.

The Symbol dialog is opening behind your Word window. If you are running
Norton AntiVirus, disable its Office Plug-in. -- Suzanne S.

I have a problem loading the Symbol Dialog Box in WORD 2003
I am running a program called System Suite 6 Professional, but I am unable to
find the Office Plug-in option anywhere in there. I should have probably checked before, but when I open Excel 2003, and try to bring up the Symbol Box, it works there, just not in WORD. I have tried to un-install and then re-install everything, but with no luck. If nothing else, I can type out the symbols in Excel, and then just paste them in WORD for right now until I can figure out why my program is absent minded. "Suzanne S.

I have a problem loading the Symbol Dialog Box in WORD 2003
If you click on your Symbol button, then minimize your Word document, do you
see the Symbol dialog? If so, it's opening behind the Word window. Norton AV is one of the most common culprits here, but there could be others; see €śThe Word title bar flashes or the Word program becomes unresponsive when Word is running€ť http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=812075 Also, if Norton AV was installed at one time then the DLL for the Office Plug-in could still be registered. Search for : officeav.dll If you find it then go to Start/Run and run the following command: regsvr32 /u "path\officeav.dll" Here is a KB article that provides a few additional details. It does not include information on Norton CE but it will contain additional details on the unregister command if you need them: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 -- Suzanne S.
