The problem is Norton - not Office. Their Office Plug-in, which scans for
viruses when opening files, has been a long-standing issue and has been a
known issue for Office 2007 files as well. The Office Plug-in has prevented
us from opening files numerous times (they'll 'fix' it and the same issue
will occur again), caused the application to crash when working with
embedded objects, and it causes a substantial delay when opening files.

In light of the issues it's caused prior to Office 2007 it's recommended the
Plug-in be turned off. You'll still protected by the AutoProtect layer. The
only thing the Plug-in can do that the AutoProtect layer can't do is scan
password protected files. I use Norton as well and am perfectly comfortable
turning it off. :-)

To disable the option, go to Norton Options and in the Miscellaneous section
and turn off "Enable Office Plug-in".
