Word 2003 error - Word Cannot open existing

[try]

When i change the path for the Temp folder under environment variables, word
starts giving errors like "word cannot open existing (normal)", and also you
cannot save any document.
Does anyone know why this happens

If you're using Symantec/Norton AntiVirus, try disabling the
Office Plugin that comes with it. See

programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" for more
