PowerPoint can't locate Microsoft Office Word

[jtoy]

I'm trying to use the Send to > Microsoft Office Word to print notes next to
slides. I get to the screen that allows you to choose the page layout in MS
Word, but then get the error:

PowerPoint can't locate Microsoft Office Word. Make sure that Microsoft
Office Word is properly installed on your computer.

Before I try one of the 3rd party options of creating my own layout, I'm
wondering if there's another solution to solve the Send to MS Word option. I
have MS Word 2003 and PowerPoint 2003 both installed on my computer. Both
seem to work fine separately. Window XP.

thanks!

What if you open Word before doing the Send to?

Do you have Norton AntiVirus? That (or another antivirus-program) can cause
the problem. Look for "Office plug ins" in your antivirus-program and
deactivate them.
