Default why random words begin appearing in word 2007 document

Thank you so much. There's lots of info on that tid. I'll look at the
uninstall instructions soon!

Office (any version) doesn't include speech recognition because it's
supplied by Windows (or a third party such as Nuance). I don't know the task
name, but you'll find troubleshooting information for Windows XP at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306537 . I don't see a similar article for
Vista yet, but I'd expect similar steps.

thank you for your response. A follow up question. O2007 doesn't , by
default, come with Speech Recognition correct? Can you tell me what
the task name would be running if it was?

Thank you! We do have Symantec AntiVirus (version 9 on the
laptops) and the lastest virus definitions are being loaded. Good
thought though. Can you think of anything else? I'll be sure to
rerun a full scan again, plus spyware scan.

Have a user who, on occasion, says they see a series of three dots

Cannot find any speech recognition software that may be the cause!

Any help would be appreciated!
