Default Find and Replace: Flashing Rectangles-- Word 2003

I'm guessing at what you're seeing, but try this: Go to Tools
Options General and uncheck "Provide feedback with animation".

When I bring up the search and replace dialog box, I get quick flashing
rectangular lines that flash only briefly. The same happens when I cancel the
box. They come up and down from the bottom of the screen with the dialog box.
Any idea on how to stop them??
