why random words begin appearing in word 2007 document
Have a user who, on occasion, says they see a series of three dots appear on
the screen, then random words and sentence fragments he did NOT type, begin to be inserted into document for apparent reason! Cannot find any speech recognition software that may be the cause! Any help would be appreciated! |

You'd best run a good antivirus ASAP!

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.

random noise even if the microphone is turned off. -- 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.

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? -Kevin Roth "Jay Freedman" wrote: Voice recognition software may be turned on, and trying to interpret random noise even if the microphone is turned off. -- 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.

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. Kroth wrote: thank you for your response. A follow up question.
