Turn off replacement status indicator when running a VBA macro

E

I created a word macro (word 2003, windows XP) that uses replace to get rid
of space characters in tables. Some of these tables are large and there are
a lot of replacements. A replacement status indicator shows up at the bottom
of the word pane which greatly slows the execution of the macro. I have
tried turning off screen updating, alerts, status bar and cannot make it go
away. Does anyone know how to stop displaying this indicator? It also shows
repagination status if that's any help.

It would help greatly if you posted the code. It is very possible that it
could be done a bit differently. For example, are you using Range, rather
than Selection? If you are using Range, then there should be NO running
status indication. Word would simply perform the action.
