: Terry,
:
: Thanks for reply. That worked. I was unable to install
: the speech recognition. Unfortunately, it did not solve
: the background activity. Further adding to the mystery,
: is that when you first open word after a reboot, the thing
: works fine for 5-10 mintues, or until you open explorer.
: When you return to word, the background activity returns
: every 10 seconds. I'm still scratching my head.....
