autocorrect annoyance

K

Keith G Hicks

In office 2003, when there is autocorrecting that could be done, a little
blue bar appears (when you put your mouse pointer on the word that was
corrected) under the word where the correction took place. When you move
your pointer onto the blue bar, a nifty little icon with lightning appears
and gives you a dropdown with autocorrect options. When you're done with
that I'd expect the icon to go away. It doesn't always do that. Oftentimes
it just hangs around on the page getting in the way. The only way to make
it disappear (that I've figrued out) is to iether save, close and reopen the
document or to scroll the page up or down and then back to where you were.
Has anyone else noticed this big annoyance?

Sorry, it's not the autocorrect, it's the PASTE OPTIONS icon that pops up in
the middle of the screen in MS Word 2003. Can anyone tell me how to get
rid of it?

Tools > Options > Edit, uncheck "Show Paste Options buttons" near the
bottom of the dialog.

Thanks. Of course that doesn't fix the bug, but at least it gets it out of
my way for now. :)
