Turn Off Closing Effect
Hi. When I close Word 2003 and click save to save the changes to
the current document I see what I believe is animation showing the outline of a box decreasing in size. This, of course happens fast and if I'm not looking at my monitor I'll probably miss it. Wondering what this was and can I turn it off. Thanks, James |

What you are seeing is the animation for "Background Saves". You'll
also see a graphic of a disk in the Word status bar. I'm not sure why you want to turn it off, since you indicated you usually don't notice it anyway, but to turn off animation go to Tools/Options/General and turn off "Provide feedback with animation". If you want to turn off Background Saves then you'll find this option on the Save tab in the Options dialog box. -- Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
