Turning off "Provide feedback with sound" Word 2008 SR2

[Ed]

I've tried numerous times to turn of the "Provide feedback with sound"
option in Word 2008 Service Release 2, but it comes back on after I
restart Word.

I've been turning this feature off by going to
Preferences==>General==>Uncheck the "Provide feedback with sound"
option.

I'm using a 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Mac Pro running OS 10.5.7. I using Word
12.2.0.

Any idea why this option keeps turning itself back on and how I might
correct this problem?

Thanks,

Ed

This won't help you problem. But I have the opposite problem. I never
have been able for the sounds to lat more then two or three openings and
closing of Word or Excel. I actually prefer the sounds.

Do you have it turned on in any other Office apps? It's a universal Office
preference. Launch one of the other apps, turn it off as you've been doing
in Word & you should find that its checkbox in Word's prefs will be cleared.

Don't ask me to explain why this is, it just seems to work
