[comp.sys.mac.misc] Why does MS Word's spelling checker beep at me?

Greetings,

  Recently, MS Word (4.00B) has begun beeping at me while running the spelling
checker.  It beeps once when it displays a misspelled word.  This has begun
happening only recently, and it is not consistent -- in other words, it does
not always beep when it finds a misspelling, just on some of them.

  I've given up on Microsoft's awful manual for this program, so if anyone can
tell me why it's doing this, and if it's possible to stop it, I'd appreciate
it.

  My system:  Mac IIx, system 6.0.5, Multifinder 6.1b7, and roughly 20 inits
which I'm too tired to mention, but which were all present when it didn't
beep...

  PLEASE email me, as I certainly can't keep up with the traffic on this group
on a regular basis.  I'll summarize if I get a solution.

Thanks,
--Mike
