Email with Word as editor?
Start by turning off your AV software's office plug. 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"
Other AV apps eg the popular free ediition of Grisoft's AVG antivirus
software, require similar treatment.
In this instance:
regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG8\avgoff2k.dll"
If that doesn't fix it - see

particular attention to the normal template and add-ins.
