What do you think Norton is doing for you? Norton is notoriously quirky.
The first thing I would do is get rid of Norton and all vestiges of it.
Then restart, and reinstall Appleworks.
Then let us know if there is still a problem.
My wife still uses Appleworks and had a problem with it recently when
she tried to print something. It was acting just as you describe. I
could not really nail down the problem, but it must have had to do with
its relationship to the printer driver. When I installed a new printer
driver (Canon) the problem cleared up.

My brother is having a problem with his Appleworks program. He
is running it on an eMac with OS 10.3.9. The problem may have started
after he "tried to fix somethings with Norton." This is the
problem: when you launch Appleworks, you get the menus across the top,
a blank toolbar, and no document or starting points. If you go to
choose an item from the menu, you get the spinning beach ball before
you can choose anything. When you go to the Appleworks icon in the
dock, click and hold on it you get "application not responding" and
have to choose Force Quit to end it. I tried to reinstall it, but the
problem remained (before this install, I removed the file/application
from the Application Folder). I assume that I need to remove some or
all of the other Appleworks program files, not just the Application.
How do I do this? Any other advice in solving this problem would be
welcome.
