Annoying Word icon
{Using Word 2002}
Near the bottom of the screen in Word on a bar where Page number, Section number, and Language information is shown, there is an annoying little icon that resembles an open book with either a thin red check mark or an "X" on it. When I type, this pest distracts me with its constant movement. I think I got rid of it once but don't recall how. It seems to have reappeared after substantial changes in my normal.dot file. How do I get rid of it? Permanently. TIA -- Bob http://www.kanyak.com |

Annoying Word icon
That icon represents the background spelling checker. (In Word 2003
when I hover the mouse over it, the tooltip says "Spelling and Grammar Status".) The animation means the checker is at work; the check mark means there are no unrecognized words, while the X means there is at least one. To get rid of it, go to Tools Options Spelling & Grammar and uncheck both "Check spelling as you type" and "Check grammar as you type". When you want a spelling check, press F7. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
